<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an indication device, a print controller, and an output information estimation method, which improve the work efficiency and operability by calculating the processing time of a print indication set by a user. <P>SOLUTION: A user sets an output condition by an output condition setting part 109 of a client 103, and the processing time required for print processing is calculated in an output information calculation part 110 on the basis of the set output condition and data of an output device 104 held in an output device data holding part 112, and the total time of the processing time of print jobs waiting for processing and the processing time calculated by the output information calculation part 110 is calculated as output information, and the calculated output information is displayed on a display part 108. The user confirms the output information displayed on the display part 118 and changes the output condition when finding a problem in the output information, and output information is calculated again on the basis of the changed output condition. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
