Claim Text:
1. An image processing apparatus capable of communicating with an information processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus comprising: at least one processor; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a processing target file to be printed; a first determination unit configured to determine whether the acquired processing target file is processable by the image processing apparatus; a second determination unit configured to determine whether the processing target file is stored in the information processing apparatus which processes the processing target file received from the image processing apparatus; and a transmission control unit configured to transmit information to the information processing apparatus, wherein, in a first case where the first determination unit has determined that the processing target file is not processable by the image processing apparatus, and the second determination unit determines that the processing target file is not stored in the information processing apparatus, the transmission control unit transmits the processing target file and processing information to the information processing apparatus, and wherein, in a second case where the first determination unit has determined that the processing target file is not processable by the image processing apparatus, and the second determination unit has determined that the processing target file is stored in the information processing apparatus, the transmission control unit transmits an identification information of the processing target file and the processing information to the information processing apparatus, wherein, in the first case where the first determination unit has determined that the processing target file is not processable by the image processing apparatus, and the second determination unit determines that the processing target file is not stored in the information processing apparatus, the identification information of the processing target file is generated and the processing target file transmitted from the image processing apparatus and the identification information of the processing target file are stored in the information processing apparatus, and wherein at least one of the acquisition unit, the first determination unit, the second determination unit, and the transmission control unit are implemented by the at least one processor.
