Abstract
A printer server generates print data in a format dependent on a printer connected to a network, from application data to be printed out by an application. The printer server includes a processor that processes intermediate data based on an additive attribute indicating an attribute relating to the generation and security added to the intermediate data at the time of generating the intermediate data. A print data converter converts the intermediate data processed into print data in a format dependent on a printer.
