Abstract

An information processing system includes: a storage unit that stores first printing information on already executed printing in association with an image for printing converted from the first printing information; and an execution unit that, when second printing information included in a printing instruction which instructs execution of printing is identical to the first printing information stored in the storage unit, executes printing according to the printing instruction using the image for printing.

Claims (26)

1. An information processing system comprising:

a memory configured to store first printing information on already executed printing in association with a raster image drawn by rasterization of the first printing information, the first printing information being described in a page description language and related to drawing; and

a processor configured to:

when second printing information included in a printing instruction which instructs execution of printing is identical to the first printing information stored in the memory, control printing according to the printing instruction using the raster image drawn by rasterization of the first printing information,

when a plurality of pieces of first printing information, each of which is the first printing information, are stored in the memory, narrow down the plurality of pieces of first printing information beforehand according to a predetermined criterion, and

when the second printing information is identical to one of the plurality of pieces of first printing information which have been narrowed down, control printing according to the printing instruction using the raster image.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor narrows down the plurality of pieces of first printing information according to attribute information included in the printing instruction.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the memory is configured to store the raster image for a predetermined period of time.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the memory is configured to store the raster image for a period of time determined according to a volume of the raster image.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the memory is configured to store the raster image for a predetermined period of time.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the memory is configured to store the raster image for a period of time determined according to a volume of the raster image.

7. An information processing apparatus comprising

a processor configured to:

when first printing information included in a first printing instruction is identical to second printing information included in a second printing instruction issued after execution of first printing according to the first printing instruction, execute second printing according to the second printing instruction using a raster image drawn by rasterization of the first printing information when the first printing is executed, the first printing information being described in a page description language and related to drawing,

when a plurality of pieces of first printing information, each of which is the first printing information, are stored, narrow down the plurality of pieces of first printing information beforehand according to a predetermined criterion, and

when the second printing information is identical to one of the plurality of pieces of first printing information which have been narrowed down, control printing according to the printing instruction using the raster image.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

storing, in a memory, first printing information on already executed printing in association with a raster image drawn by rasterization of the first printing information, the first printing information being described in a page description language and related to drawing;

when second printing information included in a printing instruction which instructs execution of printing is identical to the first printing information stored in the memory, control printing according to the printing instruction using the raster image drawn by rasterization of the first printing information,

when a plurality of pieces of first printing information, each of which is the first printing information, are stored in the memory, narrow down the plurality of pieces of first printing information beforehand according to a predetermined criterion, and

when the second printing information is identical to one of the plurality of pieces of first printing information which have been narrowed down, control printing according to the printing instruction using the raster image.
