Abstract
A printer control system including a printer control device for controlling plural printers connected thereto via a network and providing image data transmission to plural printers by using a single bitmap memory. The printer control system provides high compression of image data when the bitmap memory is used by any of the printers thereby producing an empty area in the bitmap memory for image data transmission to other printers.
