PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print controller, a printing system, a method for processing printing and a storage medium capable of preventing interruption of printing due to an insufficiency of expendable supplies. SOLUTION: When a print request is received from an application (801), a designated printer name of print data and a quantity of expendable supplies to be used of the print data are acquired and stored (802 to 805). Then, the stored quantity of the supplies is sequentially compared with the residue of the stored supplies of the each printer separately acquired and stored (806, 807, 809), and if there is a printer having a sufficient residue of the supplies, print data is transferred to the printer through a network (811), and printing is executed. If there is no printer having the sufficient residue of the supplies, a user is informed of the effect.
