<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing network system sharing a distributed object technique and allowing constantly ideal fast printing regardless of the processing capability of a server received a printing request and allowing security in printing processing for a confidential document. <P>SOLUTION: Upon receiving the printing request, the control object Obj21 of a printer Prt1 generates a stub Obj22; and processing is entrusted to the server through the stub Obj22. In this case, the secrecy of the server S1 is verified. When no problem is found, a printing data object Obj25 is generated to issue the printing request. The server S1 determines whether or not the processing for the requested printing by the server S1 gets faster. When determination is made in that entrusting the processing to a server S2 being the other server gets faster, the processing is entrusted to the server S2. The processing by the server 2 includes steps for: preparing bit map data obtained by developing the requested printing data; and returning, through the server S1, the bit map data to the printer Prt1. The printer Prt1 executes printing after receiving the developed printing data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
