To reduce time and effort for a user when an image forming apparatus is operated by the user to receive, from an information processing apparatus, a print job stored in the information processing apparatus and encrypted and execute the print job.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus of the present invention is an information processing apparatus having registration means that registers an image forming apparatus as a virtual printer, and has receiving means that receives, from the image forming apparatus, ability information including at least information indicating that the image forming apparatus can execute an encrypted print job. The registration means does not register an image forming apparatus corresponding to predetermined ability information received by the receiving means, and the predetermined ability information does not include the information indicating that the image forming apparatus can execute the encrypted print job.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 15 【課題】 情報処理装置に記憶され、暗号化されている印刷ジョブをユーザの操作により画像形成装置が情報処理装置から受信し、実行する場合に、ユーザの手間を減らすことを目的とする。【解決手段】 本発明の情報処理装置は、画像形成装置を仮想プリンタとして登録する登録手段を有する情報処理装置であって、前記画像形成装置から少なくとも前記画像形成装置が暗号化された印刷ジョブを実行できることを示す情報を含む能力情報を受信する受信手段を有し、前記登録手段は、前記受信手段が受信した所定の能力情報に対応する画像形成装置を登録せず、前記所定の能力情報は、前記画像形成装置が暗号化された印刷ジョブを実行できることを示す情報を含まないことを特徴とする。【選択図】 図１５
