Disclosed is a printing control apparatus in which a printing instruction is once converted into an intermediate code format and then converted into a printer control command, and which can correctly print an embedded font. In this invention, a spooler for converting a printing instruction into an intermediate code format and storing this intermediate code format detects the presence/absence of an embedded font on the basis of font attributes contained in the printing instruction. If an embedded font is detected, the spooler acquires the embedded font (S 3.3 ) and spools the font by the intermediate code format (S 3.4 ). The despooler registers the spooled embedded font in a graphic engine (D 3 ), and a printer driver generates a control command by using the registered embedded font (Drv 3.1 ).
