Image forming apparatus, image forming method, and computer program product

An image forming method comprising:

• storing print data and first converted data in a storage unit, the first converted data being obtained by reflecting a first print condition in the print data and converting the print data into a printable form;
• receiving an input of a reprint instruction to reprint the first converted data;
• acquiring a second print condition for reprinting the first converted data;
• determining, when the input of the reprint instruction is received, whether the first converted data is printable in the second print condition by comparing the acquired second print condition against the first print condition reflected in the first converted data;
• acquiring, when it is determined that the first converted data is unprintable in the second print condition acquired at the acquiring, the print data from the storage unit, and converting the print data into second converted data by reflecting the second print condition in the print data;
• and
• printing the second converted data.
