Abstract
In a printer server system composed of a plurality of client terminals, a file server and a printer server connected to the same network, the file server manages raster image data to be printed out and queuing information for queuing print commands. If a main controller judges that the data type of a raster image differs from a data type capable of being outputted in the printer server connected to the network, a gray-scale raster image, for example, is converted to image data of a data type, such as binary data, capable of being printed out. The converted image data is then outputted by the printer server.
