<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing system capable of improving a printing speed in printing a document in which various attributes concerned with complicated output formats are set, capable of displaying the performance of a printer engine speed at maximum and capable of previously grasping a final output format, the number of sheets to be used, a sheet medium, and so on. <P>SOLUTION: An application program interface (API) capable of mutually transmitting/receiving various information and data among an application program, a printer driver program and a printer printing control program is prepared. Before receiving print job data, a printer receives various graphics control information and attribute setting information of a print job by using an API function and previously executes optimizing processing concerned with printing control on the basis of these information. Then the printer executes the printing control processing of the received print job on the basis of the optimizing processing to print out the document. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
