Abstract
An image processing apparatus stores received print data and requests a conversion server to convert the print data. In response, the conversion server converts the print data into a predetermined format and transmits reference information indicating a location of the print data after conversion to the image processing apparatus. An image output apparatus transmits its own apparatus configuration information and a print request to the image processing apparatus. In response, the image processing apparatus outputs either of the print data and the reference information to the image output apparatus, based on the apparatus configuration information. The image output apparatus acquires, when the reference information is received, the print data after conversion from the conversion server and performs printing, based on the reference information, and performs, when the print data is received, printing based on the received print data.
