Abstract
An information processing apparatus encrypts data that is to be printed by a printing apparatus and stored in a storage device detachably connected to the information processing apparatus so that the encrypted data can be decrypted by the printing apparatus. Once the data has been encrypted, the information processing apparatus stores the encrypted data in the storage device. After the storage device including the encrypted data has been detached from the information processing apparatus and connected to the printing apparatus, the printing apparatus decrypts the encrypted data stored in the storage device and executes a printing process according to the decrypted data.
