In a print control apparatus, even when an error such as a paper jam or the like which needs the reprint occurs in a printer, in order to perform an error recovery to generate the accurate reprint result, for preparation of the error recovery, a command buffer preserving section to preserve commands and drawing attribute parameters of each page head (or a command file preserving section or a page buffer preserving section to preserve a drawing dot image) and a preservation command buffer use redrawing/reprint preparing section to perform the error recovery by using the preserved contents (or a preservation command file use redrawing/reprint preparing section or a preservation page buffer reprinting section) are provided in the print control apparatus. When the error which needs the reprint occurs, even for a command of the type such that the drawing attribute parameters are handed over between pages, the accurate reprint is executed by using the preserved contents.
