An image forming apparatus and system are described. An information processing apparatus may select printing paper in a size that is not available on the side of image forming apparatus. When the information processing apparatus executes a print instruction, an error may be caused that stops the print job. In addition, print jobs of other users may be unable to be processed and stopped. To solve this problem, information on the sizes of recording paper that can be fed for image forming is communicated to the information processing apparatus and/or other parts of the system. This information may be received prior to the information processing apparatus transmitting print data to the printer. Thus, whether paper availability may be determined before transmitting print data, and appropriate corrective steps take to avoid delays.
