A print controller includes a communication section configured to communicate with a printer, a communication controlling section configured to request transmission of a transmission command for acquiring response data to the printer, and a printing data processing section configured to process printing data on a host-based system and transmit the processed printing data to the printer via the communication section. During communication on the host-based system, the printing data processing section transmits the transmission command to the printer via the communication section and acquires the response data returned from the printer in response to the transmission command. The communication controlling section processes the acquired response data as response data corresponding to the transmission command.
