A method of smoothing the surface of printing paper formed by a thermal head is provided. A printer forms a protection layer on images of the printing paper by the heat of a thermal head that has a plurality of heat generating potions arrayed apart from each other. The printer has a line heater that, on a downstream side of the thermal head in the feeding direction of the printing paper, has a heat generating portion that continuously extends over a length corresponding to the plurality of heat generating portions of the thermal head, the heat generating portion being disposed so as to contact with the protection layer
