A printing system and similar which, with respect to so-called form printing, can reduce the amount of memory required and improve the efficiency of processing is provided. The printing system comprises: a host device, which divides image data of a form into square blocks the length of one side of which is equal to the height of a band, and which generates form data comprising the image data of each square block in which exists an image of the form, position information for each square block, and rotation information for the form, and which transmits the form data; and a printing device which registers the transmitted form data, and, upon receiving a form printing request, performs processing to merge the form data with the printing data based on the rotation information and position information for the form data, and which executes print processing for the requested form printing.
