<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize smooth distributed print processing using a technology for distributing a print job to two printers or more and performing distributed printing. <P>SOLUTION: This print controller determines a printer which preferentially receives data transmitted through a previously established connection as a printer of a distribution destination when the number of connections that can parallelly receive data is smaller than the number of connections that can hold the data at the same time and connections that exceed a receivable number are held. The print controller respectively establishes connections between and among two printers of a distribution destination or more, determines whether the two printers of a distribution destination or more are in an immediately receivable state in which the printers can immediately receive data transmitted through the connections and transmits the print job to a printer of a distribution destination determined to be in an immediately receivable state. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
