Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus capable of communicating with a printing apparatus, the image processing apparatus comprising: an input unit configured to input print data; a communication unit configured to transmit, to the printing apparatus, print data input by the input unit and receive, from the printing apparatus, information indicating the transmitted print data of which printing has been completed in the printing apparatus; a storage unit configured to store a first printing amount of the printing that has been completed in the printing apparatus and a second printing amount of the printing corresponding to the transmitted print data of which printing has not been completed in the printing apparatus yet; and a control unit configured to determine whether a total amount of the first printing amount, the second printing amount, and a third printing amount of target print data is less than an upper limit amount, the target print data is data input by the input unit and is data to be transmitted by the communication unit; wherein the control unit is configured to add the third printing amount to the second printing amount, and cause the communication unit to transmit the target print data, in a case where the total amount is less than the upper limit amount, and wherein the control unit is configured to update the first printing amount and the second printing amount, in a case where the communication unit transmits the target print data to the printing apparatus and receives, from the printing apparatus, information indicating whether a printing corresponding to the transmitted target print data has been completed in the printing apparatus.
