An encrypted data processing method for a printing system provided with a host which transmits print data or encrypted data formed by encrypting the print data, and an image forming apparatus connected with the host via a communication network to execute printing based on the print data, the method including: a first step of determining, in the image forming apparatus, whether transmitted data from the host is the encrypted data; a second step of executing printing process in cases where the transmitted data is not the encrypted data, and decrypting the encrypted data in cases where the transmitted data is the encrypted data; and a third step of executing the printing process in cases where the decryption of the encrypted data has been successfully executed, and storing the encrypted data into a storage section in cases where the decryption has failed.
