Abstract
A print control data generating apparatus generates first print control data and outputs the generated first print control data. The first print control data includes print control data capable of controlling an output of a print job, and includes a term of validity for the print control data. The print control data generating apparatus determines whether the term of validity for the first print control data is unexpired. The print control data generating apparatus generates second print control data based on the first print control data, when the term of validity for the first print control data has expired and if a reissue of the first print control data is requested, and outputs the generated second print control data.
