Information processing apparatus, control method and program therefor, and server system capable of communicating with the information processing apparatus

A server system comprising:

• a reception unit configured to receive print data from an information processing apparatus;
• a generation unit configured to generate print data conforming to a print apparatus configured to perform printing based on the print data received by the reception unit;
• and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the print data generated by the generation unit to the print apparatus,
• wherein the transmission unit transmits the received print data, to the print apparatus, based on a predetermined instruction received from the information processing apparatus, without generating, by the generation unit, the print data conforming to the print apparatus.

A first server system communicating with a second server system capable of converting received print data into print data conforming to a print apparatus used for printing the received print data and transmitting converted print data to the print apparatus, the first server system comprising:

• a conversion unit configured to convert print data transmitted from an information processing apparatus into print data conforming to the print apparatus;
• a transmission unit configured to transmit the print data converted by the conversion unit to the second server system;
• and
• an instruction unit configured to instruct the second server system to transmit the transmitted print data by the transmission unit to the print apparatus without converting the transmitted print data.

A control method for an information processing apparatus communicating with a server system capable of converting received print data into print data conforming to a print apparatus used for printing the received print data and transmitting converted print data to the print apparatus, the control method comprising:

• generating print data conforming to the print apparatus used for printing;
• transmitting the generated print data to the server system;
• and
• instructing the server system to transmit the received print data without converting the received print data.
