PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print system, which actualizes a fast printing processing by excellently decentralizing the load between a host computer and a printer. SOLUTION: A printer driver 13 has a load table consisting of coefficients regarding the processing capabilities of a host computer 1 and a printer 2 as to the kinds and sizes of drawing commands. When a drawing command is inputted from an application program 11 through an OS 12, the load placed on the processing of the drawing command is predicted from information on the kind and size of the drawing command. Then a drawing command which is processed by the printer 2 more efficiently is sent to the printer in the form of PDL etc., and a drawing command which is processed by the host computer more efficiently is transmitted to the printer 2 in the form of intermediate data after being processed. Consequently, the processing load of drawing commands is decentralized according to the kinds and sizes of the drawing commands.
