A wireless network printing system is provided to enable the first wireless terminal, which belongs to an ad-hoc network, to print printing data through an image formation device in an infrastructure network by relaying the printing data to the image formation device through another wireless terminal which belongs both the infrastructure network and the ad-hoc network. A wireless network printing system consists of the first wireless terminal(10), the second wireless terminal(11), and an image formation device(20). The first wireless terminal selectively transfers to the network environment of the first communication mode to execute direct communication with another wireless terminal or the network environment of the second communication mode to execute communication through an AP(Access Point)(21). The second wireless terminal, located out of the coverage of the AP, is connected the network environment of the first communication mode. The image formation device is connected with the network environment of the second communication mode. The first wireless terminal transfers its network environment from the first communication mode to the second communication mode according to the second wireless terminal's request and delivers printing data, provided from the second wireless terminal, to the image formation device through the AP.
