<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem: a mechanism performing a high-speed processing by distributing a lot of processings to a plurality of devices and processing them does not perform processing distribution considering hardware resources of the devices performing the distributed processing. <P>SOLUTION: When distributively processing a drawing process in a print job by the devices connected to a computer network, it is decided whether to perform hardware drawing processing or to perform software drawing processing (S1102, S1103), an image processing device capable of performing the hardware drawing processing or the software drawing processing is searched for from the devices connected to the computer network (S1104, S1106), and the device to be transmitted with a job divided from the print job is notified on the basis of a result of the search and the decision (S1108). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
