Apparatus and method for managing image forming job

An image-forming-job managing apparatus for managing image-forming jobs issued from at least one terminal to a first image-forming apparatus, comprising:

• means for executing communication with at least one second image-forming apparatus connected thereto via a communication line;
• means for sequentially storing, in a job storage, the image-forming jobs issued from the terminal;
• means for displaying, on a display, information contained in the image-forming jobs that are stored in the job storage, upon receiving a request for displaying the image-forming jobs;
• and
• means for extracting one of the image-forming jobs stored in the job storage, upon receiving a request for changing an output destination of the one of the image-forming jobs, thereby transferring it to the second image-forming apparatus designated as the output destination, via the communication means.
