Claim:
A printing system which has an image processing apparatus and a printing apparatus, the image processing apparatus comprising: an input unit constructed to input a print job; a selecting unit constructed to select a condition from a plurality of conditions, for representing whether resources necessary to execute the print job input by the input unit are prepared in the printing apparatus; and a transmission unit constructed to determine whether resources necessary to execute the print job input by the input step are prepared in the printing apparatus according to the condition selected by the selecting unit, and when resources necessary to execute the print job input by the input unit are prepared in the printing apparatus, transmit image data of the print job and setting information of the print job to the printing apparatus, and when resources necessary to execute the print job input by the input unit are not prepared in the printing apparatus, transmit setting information of the print job without transmitting image data of the print job, wherein the transmission unit, when resources necessary to execute the print job are set in the printing apparatus, transmits image data of the print job to the printing apparatus, and the printing apparatus comprising: a reception unit constructed to receive image data of the print job and setting information of the print job from the image processing apparatus; a registration unit constructed to, when the reception unit receives setting information of the print job and image data of the print job, register the print job as a job to wait for executing of printing, and when the reception unit receives setting information of the print job and does not receive image data of the print job, register the print job as a reservation job; and a printing unit constructed to execute a printing process on the basis of the print job registered as the job to wait for executing of printing, wherein the registration unit, when the reception unit receives image data of the print job registered as the reservation job, registers the print job registered as the reservation job as a job to wait for executing of printing so that the print job registered as the reservation job is executed in order where the reception unit received setting information of the print job registered as the reservation job.
