An information printing system that is capable of printing data, which is handled by an arbitrary client apparatus of a digital system, in an output format suitable for printing, with a relatively simple structure without using a printer driver. In this system, conversion rule information, which is used to convert BML data (digital broadcast contents) into XML data (XML data for printing) printable by the corresponding printer 200, is pre-stored in the printer 200. A receiver 100 downloads necessary conversion rule information from the printer 200 with given timing, and converts received BML data to XML data for printing based on the conversion rule information, and transmits a conversion result (XML data for printing) to the printer 200. |
