<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing system that can continue printing and can produce a printed matter in a short time by minimizing a user's trial and error upon falling into insufficient memory. <P>SOLUTION: A host computer and a recording device are connected via an interface capable of two-way communication. The host computer incorporates application software capable of printing and a printer driver. When the application software starts printing to start printer driver processing, the size of an area available in storing means by the printer driver is checked, and the available area size is compared with a size of work memory necessary for the printer driver to generate print data. If the necessary work memory volume is larger than the available area size, a maximum raster count securable in the available memory is calculated, and the print data are generated in the raster count, and transferred to the recording device that prints them. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
