1. An information processing apparatus that manages print processes of a plurality of printing apparatuses, the information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to:
acquire job execution information indicating current job in a queue and an execution status of each printing apparatus from the plurality of printing apparatuses;
in a case in which a predetermined condition regarding processing of converting print data into a raster image is satisfied in one printing apparatus, extract another printing apparatus capable of executing the processing of converting the print data into the raster image from among other printing apparatuses other than the one printing apparatus by using the execution information;
cause the other printing apparatus, that is extracted, to execute the processing of converting the print data of a print job scheduled to be printed in the one printing apparatus into the raster image; and
perform control to transmit the raster image created by the other printing apparatus to the one printing apparatus.
