PURPOSE:To facilitate a process when a print request is made again after a print control terminal ends requested printing operation. CONSTITUTION:When data for printing are received by the print control terminal 20, a spooler 23 retrieves a form feed position. Print data are stored in the data file 28 of a spool file 25 and page information showing a print start position of each page is stored in a page management file 27. A print processing part 22 while referring to the spool file 25 controls a printer 3 to perform the printing operation. The contents of the spool file 25 are transferred to and stored in a storage file 30 even after the printing operation ends. When a reprinting request specifying a page is made, a page management file 32 is referred to and the corresponding print data are read out of a data file 33. Therefore, print data of the corresponding page need not be resent from a requesting terminal 10. |
