Printing system, instruction apparatus, control method of instruction apparatus, and program

An instruction apparatus for receiving an operation of designating a processing apparatus configured to execute raster image processor (RIP) processing on data to be printed and a printing apparatus configured to execute printing processing of printing an image based on the data to be printed on a print medium, the instruction apparatus comprising:

• a display unit;
• a control unit configured to display a display screen on the display unit, the display screen including a first apparatus object indicating the instruction apparatus, a plurality of second apparatus objects associated with a plurality of the processing apparatuses, respectively, and a third apparatus object associated with the printing apparatus;
• and
• an operation unit configured to receive an operation of associating the first apparatus object with the second apparatus object and an operation of associating the second apparatus object with the third apparatus object, wherein
• the control unit generates control information for causing the processing apparatus corresponding to the second apparatus object associated with the first apparatus object to execute the RIP processing and causing the printing apparatus corresponding to the third apparatus object associated with the second apparatus object to execute the printing processing.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute operations, the computer being mounted on an instruction apparatus configured to receive an operation of designating a processing apparatus configured to execute raster image processor (RIP) processing on data to be printed and a printing apparatus configured to execute printing processing of printing an image based on the data to be printed on a print medium, the operations comprising:

• displaying a display screen including a first apparatus object indicating the instruction apparatus, a plurality of second apparatus objects associated with a plurality of the processing apparatuses, respectively, and a third apparatus object associated with the printing apparatus;
• receiving an operation of associating the first apparatus object with the second apparatus object and an operation of associating the second apparatus object with the third apparatus object;
• and
• generating control information for causing the processing apparatus corresponding to the second apparatus object associated with the first apparatus object to execute the RIP processing and causing the printing apparatus corresponding to the third apparatus object associated with the second apparatus object to execute the printing processing.
