DATA PROCESSOR, METHOD FOR CREATING PRINT DATA, STORAGE MEDIUM FOR STORING COMPUTER READABLE PROGRAM, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make best use of the resources of a first operating system and easily create print instructions to an operating system of the same type whose specifications are expanded in sequence.

SOLUTION: Predetermined drawing information issued by a print instruction application is converted into a first print instruction of a first drawing method via a graphic engine 302 which conforms to the specifications of a first OS. A printer driver 303 converts the first print instruction into first intermediate data which conform to the specifications of the first OS. The first intermediate data are processed by a despooler 403 into second intermediate data whose output specifications are expanded more than with the first OS. Based on the second intermediate data, a graphic driver 404 creates a second print instruction that conforms to the output specifications of a second OS.
