A printing system and its control method are provided allowing flexible function restrictions during print job execution even with an image forming apparatus incapable of highly advanced functions such as interpreting functional restriction information, etc. The invention is applied to a printing system where an information processing apparatus and a plurality of image forming apparatuses are connected via a network. The information processing apparatus transmits a print job assigned access restriction information, the information indicating whether or not to authorize the execution of the print job, only when an image forming apparatus or output destination of the print job is capable of interpreting such access restriction information. When an image processing apparatus is not capable of interpreting access restriction information, the information processing apparatus deletes access restriction information, but reflects restriction contents of the information in the data for the print job, and transmits the resultant job.
