Print data processing system, print data processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A print data processing method comprising:

• interpreting page-description-language data representing a target document to be printed and generating intermediate data in units of pages;
• allocating processes of interpreting the page-description-language data to a plurality of intermediate data generation units in units of pages and causing the plurality of intermediate data generation units to execute processes of interpreting pages in parallel;
• storing, in one or more memories, pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages generated by the plurality of intermediate data generation units;
• acquiring the pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages from the one or more memories via a communication path, converting the acquired pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages to print image data that is capable of being handled by a printer, and supplying the print image data to the printer;
• in a case where an instruction to reprint the target document is provided, performing control to reacquire the pieces of intermediate data that correspond to the target document and that are stored in the one or more memories, and to reconvert the reacquired pieces of intermediate data to the print image data;
• and
• performing control so that, among the one or more memories, a memory whose transfer speed of transferring a piece of intermediate data via the communication path is lower than a transfer speed corresponding to a print speed of the printer is not selected as a unit that stores the pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages generated by the plurality of intermediate data generation units.

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

• interpreting page-description-language data representing a target document to be printed and generating intermediate data in units of pages;
• allocating processes of interpreting the page-description-language data to a plurality of intermediate data generation units in units of pages and causing the plurality of intermediate data generation units to execute processes of interpreting pages in parallel;
• storing, in one or more memories, pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages generated by the plurality of intermediate data generation units;
• acquiring the pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages from the one or more memories via a communication path, converting the acquired pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages to print image data that is capable of being handled by a printer, and supplying the print image data to the printer;
• in a case where an instruction to reprint the target document is provided, performing control to reacquire the pieces of intermediate data that correspond to the target document and that are stored in the one or more memories, and to reconvert the reacquired pieces of intermediate data to the print image data;
• and
• performing control so that, among the one or more memories, a memory whose transfer speed of transferring a piece of intermediate data via the communication path is lower than a transfer speed corresponding to a print speed of the printer is not selected as a unit that stores the pieces of intermediate data of the individual pages generated by the plurality of intermediate data generation units.
