Abstract
There are disclosed an information processing apparatus and its control method, which can proceed to execute a process of an incomplete print job upon receiving an end process request while an incomplete print job is present. In an information processing apparatus according to this invention, if an incomplete print job is present upon receiving an end process instruction, another information processing apparatus which can alternately process this print job is searched for (S2203), and the incomplete print job is transferred to that information processing apparatus (S2207). Since the information processing apparatus, which received the incomplete print job, processes the received print job as a self spooled print job, the print job can be normally processed.
