ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a printing control apparatus for enabling an image forming apparatus, having a network connection function and printing data interpretation function, to print printing data written in a format that cannot be interpreted by the interpretation function of the image forming apparatus. The printing control apparatus, connected between a network and an image forming apparatus having a network interface, determines whether or not a data packet received from the network is printing data (S303), and when the received data packet is printing data, encodes the received data packet in a format interpretable by the image forming apparatus (S305) to be outputted to the image forming apparatus.
