PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operation/processing speeds by outputting data without substituting characters when the substitution of a printer font is designated and outputting it from preserved intermediate data at the time of later book printing. SOLUTION: Intermediate data is generated at a designated printing mode and when the substitution instruction of a font is turned on (S203). Outputted intermediate data is once spooled and a driver displays a user interface screen designating book printing on the screen of a display part 4 for obtaining an instruction whether data is book-printed or not (S208). At the time of executing book printing, spooled intermediate data is outputted. The printer driver receives intermediate data, generates printing data and outputs it to a printer (S211). Intermediate data in a data system different from printing data is generated and is temporarily preserved before printing data which is to be transmitted to the printer is generated, and printing data is generated from intermediate data. Thus, printing time can be shortened.
