PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image reader capable of executing direct printing by a printer regulated so as to print an image through a personal computer and to provide an image printing system using it. SOLUTION: The interface card 15 of this image reader 100 is provided with an LSI chip 18 obtained by integrating an interface circuit. The card 15 has a port 19 provided on the chip 18, and the port 19 is connected to a color printer 50 by an IEEE1394 fast serial bus 20. Since the chip 18 stores a leading function of an SBP (serial bus protocol)-2, direct printing can be carried out by using a color printer 50 which is regulated so as to print an image through a personal computer and has an LSI chip 54 on which a subordinate function of the SBP-2 is stored.
