Abstract
In a print system comprising a computer and a printer connected to the computer, a logical printer driver makes print instructions of a prepared document, prepares a PDL document and print information from the document, and spools as a print job, a spool control section transfers the spooled print job to a PDL processing section, which then processes the PDL document in accordance with the print information and transfers the PDL document to an interpreter, which then interprets the PDL document, expands the PDL document into a dot image, and stores the dot image in an output work, and an output control section sends the dot image to a print engine for printing the document in the specified format from the computer.
