<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten printing time by preventing data processing in a printer from being wasted when outputting data to be processed to the printer in advance for printing. <P>SOLUTION: A printing controller determines whether the data being processed by application software is changeable, in an information processor 2. When the data is unchangeable, the printing controller outputs the data to the printer 1 before indicating printing. When the data is printable, the printing controller does not output the data to the printer 1 until a printing request is issued. The printer 1 performs printing processing with respect to the received data. When a user performs a printing request operation, the printing controller indicates a print start to the printer. The printer 1 prints the printing-processed data as an image. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
