<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a distributed-printing control system suitable for preventing printed matters based on different print requests from being outputted jumbled together. <P>SOLUTION: When a distributed-printing control server 200 receives a distributed-printing request from a host terminal 100, the distributed-printing control server 200 sends a distributed-print start notification to a subject-of distributed-printing printer 300 before a start of distributed printing, generates a distributed-unit-print request in accordance with the received distributed-print request, sends the generated distributed-unit-print request to the subject-of-distributed-printing printer 300 and sends a distributed-print end notification to the subject-of-distributed-printing printer 300 after an end of distributed printing. When the network printer 300 receives a distributed-unit-print request or an ordinary print request, the network printer 300 takes control of printing depending upon the received distributed-unit-print request or ordinary print request, whereas the network printer 300 prevents a printing as to an ordinary print request received in a time from a reception of the distributed-print start notification to a reception of the distributed-print end notification. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
