A receiving unit ( 101 ) of a print data generating apparatus ( 100 ), which enables a printing that reflects user's preferences even in a digital broadcasting environment, receives and modulates digital broadcast waves. A video/data separating unit ( 102 ) separates a signal received from the receiving unit ( 101 ) into a video packet, an audio packet and a data packet that includes print information. A print information storing unit ( 104 ) is a RAM for storing print information, or the like, and reads the print information from the data packet received from the video/data separating unit ( 102 ), and stores it. A print information converting unit ( 108 ) reads the print information stored in the print information storing unit ( 104 ) and image data stored in an image storing unit ( 106 ), updates the print information by inserting, into the print information, image information representing the image data, based on the read-out print information and image data, and transmits the updated print information to a print information notifying unit ( 109 ). The print information notifying unit ( 109 ) transmits the received print information to a printing apparatus ( 120 ).
