<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heater watt-hour computation device that accurately computes the watt-hour of a heater, especially without an error. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The heater watt-hour computation device of a printing device performs a heat fixing processing after printing onto a recording medium according to print data. The heater watt-hour computation device includes: a counting means which counts the number of drives of the heater used for the heat fixing processing; a first computation means which computes reference integral power containing a correction value of the inrush current of the heater; and a second computation means which computes the product of the number of drives of the heater and the reference integral power to compute the integral power of the heater.
