<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently output image data acquired from a server device to a printer. <P>SOLUTION: One piece of file information is extracted from first cache list information which is a list of the file information of printing object image data this time, and searched from second cache list information which is a list of last printing object images (S410, S411). In the case of no hit, there is no cache of the object image data this time in a client terminal 105, so that the object data are acquired from the server device 101 through a network (S413), and the acquired image data are stored in a printing cache data region 110 in the client terminal 105. In the case of a hit, the image data are acquired from the printing cache data region 110 without carrying out the steps S412-S414, and transferred to a printer driver 112 together with printing setup information (S416). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
