Abstract
An information processing apparatus is communicable with a server and an image forming apparatus. A first set of printing commands is acquired from the server. A raster image processor (RIP) processes an image to form raster image data based on the acquired first set of printing commands. One of the first set of printing commands or the formed raster image data is transferred to the image forming apparatus. The RIP is controlled to form raster image data based on a second set of printing commands when the RIP is not carrying out image processing based on the first set of printing commands, and the second set of printing commands are transferred to the image forming apparatus for image processing based thereon when the RIP is carrying out image processing based on the first set of printing commands.
