ABSTRACT:
To divide and transfer a printing job so that the printing job can be efficiently rasterized by plural processors and improve the processing rate of the whole system in a printing system in which plural processors are roughly connected via a network, the following means are provided: Processing resource information extracting means extracts resource information required every divided job. If a processor is not provided with a required resource, it instructs a processor provided with the resource to transfer it using resource transfer means and receives the resource. Prior information means informs a processor and others of required processing prior to transfer. As the processor and others execute required processing based upon the contents of prior information, they can immediately start processing when a file is transferred.
