PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network print system which shortens the time needed for printing even when an abnormality occurs in communications between a client and a server. SOLUTION: A spooler 12 has a spool file preparation part 15 which divides a print data stream received from a print program 1, prepares a spool file 11 and stores it, a server information management part 18 which manages a server information table 17 which holds transferable and untransferable states, with a server 20, an output destination switching part 19 which switches output destinations when the transfer to the server 20 is not available and a spool file eliminating part 16 which eliminates an unnecessary spool file 11. Every time a spool file 11 is created by the part 15 or each time a spool file is sent front a spool file reinputting part 13 after a fault is recovered, the file 11 is transferred to a spooler 23 of the server 20 and outputted from a printer 21. |
