1. A printing apparatus which is connected to a plurality of devices via a network, and executes a printing process on the basis of print data received from the plurality of devices, comprising:
- a receiving unit adapted to receive the print data;
a processing unit adapted to apply to the print data processing required to execute the printing process based on the print data;
a storing unit adapted to store processed data generated during a process of the processing of said processing unit in one of storage devices incorporated in the devices including said printing apparatus on the network;
an appending unit adapted to append identification information indicating a storage location of the processed data by said storing unit to image data corresponding to the print data; and
a printing unit adapted to print the image data to which the identification information is appended by said appending unit.

Abstract
Print data is received. Processing required to execute a printing process based on that print data is applied to the print data. Processed data generated in the process of the processing is stored in one of storage devices incorporated in devices including the printing apparatus of interest on the network. Identification information indicating the storage location of the processed data is appended to image data corresponding to the print data. The image data appended with the identification information is printed.

11. A method of controlling a printing apparatus which is connected to a plurality of devices via a network, and executes a printing process on the basis of print data received from the plurality of devices, comprising:
-
a receiving step of receiving the print data;
a processing step of applying processing required to execute the printing process based on the print data to the print data;
a storing step of storing processed data generated during a process of the processing in the processing step in one of storage devices incorporated in the devices including the printing apparatus on the network;
an appending step of appending identification information indicating a storage location of the processed data in the storing step to image data corresponding to the print data; and
a printing step of printing the image data to which the identification information is appended in the appending step.
