An image forming system includes an image information processing apparatus that outputs image data, at least one format converting apparatus that converts the image data into ready-to-print data, and an image forming apparatus that prints out the ready-to-print image data. These apparatuses are connected to a network such that they communicate with one another. The image information processing apparatus transmits image data to image forming apparatus. If the image forming apparatus supports the data format of the image data, the image data is printed in the image forming apparatus. If the image forming apparatus does not support the data format of the image data, the image data is transferred to the format converting apparatus. The format converting apparatus converts the image data into the ready-to-print data and then transmits the ready-to-print data back to the image forming apparatus, which in turn prints the ready-to-print data.
