A print system (1) includes a first printer (20) and a print data output device (10) that is communicably connected to the first printer (20). The print data output device (10) is adapted to output to the first printer (20) print data generated based on internal print data generated by any of a plurality of programs (30, 30a). The print data output device (10) includes a second printer-retained information storage unit (48). The second printer-retained information storage unit (48) obtains and stores the second printer-retained information that is stored in the second printer. The print data output device (10) includes an intermediate data generation section (44) that generates raster image data based on the internal print data and the second printer-retained information. The print data output device (10) includes a print data generation unit (46) that generates the print data used for causing the first printer (20) to form an image based on the raster image data on an image recording medium. The print data output device (10) is installed in a host computer by a method or a computer-readable program product. The method, or computer-readable program product causes the computer to execute, steps include installing a print data output program. The print data output program converts print data for causing a printer to be replaced to perform printing into print data for causing a replacement printer to perform printing. |
