Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing system comprising:

• an information processing apparatus;
• an image forming apparatus;
• and
• a server that is able to connect to the information processing apparatus and the image forming apparatus,
• wherein the information processing apparatus includes a first processor configured to:
• when receiving an instruction for image formation of a printing target file issued to the image forming apparatus, generate print data and processing information, the print data being generated based on the printing target file;
• transmit the print data generated based on the printing target file and processing information to the server, the processing information including access information regarding access to the information processing apparatus and information for forming an image represented by the print data, and
• store the print data into the information processing apparatus;
• when the printing target file is updated, perform processing for updating both of the print data transmitted to the server and the print data stored in the information processing apparatus to print data generated based on the updated printing target file;
• and
• perform control for transmitting the print data to the image forming apparatus in response to a request from the image forming apparatus for transmission of the print data,
• wherein the image forming apparatus includes a second processor configured to:
• acquire the processing information from the server;
• acquire the print data by selecting between acquisition of the print data from the server and acquisition of the print data from the information processing apparatus corresponding to the access information;
• and
• perform control such that image formation is performed using the acquired print data and the acquired processing information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

• when receiving an instruction for image formation of a printing target file issued to an image forming apparatus, generating print data and processing information, the print data being generated based on the printing target file;
• transmitting print data generated based on the printing target file and processing information to a server, the processing information including access information regarding access to an information processing apparatus and information for forming an image represented by the print data, and
• storing the print data into the information processing apparatus;
• when the printing target file is updated, performing processing for updating both of the print data transmitted to the server and the print data stored in the information processing apparatus to print data generated based on the updated printing target file;
• and
• performing control for transmitting the print data to the image forming apparatus in response to a request from the image forming apparatus for transmission of the print data.
