Abstract
The present invention discloses an information processing system comprising a host computer and at least two printers having different interfaces. A page description language or bit map data is received by a printer. When the page description language is received, the printer expands it into bit map data. The expanded bit map data is transferred to another printer via a parallel interface. Thus, the workload of the host computer in its printing process is lessened.
