PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To succeed the print data of a fault node without requiring any manager system or service processor. SOLUTION: This system has plural nodes 100 provided with a node switching control part 101, print succeeding processing part 102 and spool control/print-out part 103 for outputting print data. Each node 100 is provided with a disk device 150 having a print spool area for storing the print data. Concerning such a print processing cluster system in which the nodes and plural printer devices 300 and 301 are connected to a common bus line, the print processing fault at any one node is detected through the bus line by the other node, and the disk device connected to one node is connected to the other node so that the print processing at one node is succeeded by the other node.
