A print server is linked through a communication network to a client device for sending PDL data, and an image forming apparatus provided with a RIP section for creating raster data by rasterizing the PDL data and a printer section for executing printing according to the raster data. This print server is provided with at least a RIP section for creating raster data by rasterizing the PDL data received from the client device, and a control section that compares the time to be taken before output when the PDL data received from the aforementioned client device is sent to the image forming apparatus with the time to be taken before output when the raster data created by the RIP section of the printer server is sent to the image forming apparatus, whereby the data whose length of time before the output is shorter is sent to the image forming apparatus.
