Abstract
A high-efficiency printing apparatus, a printing system, a print control method, and a storage medium require an extremely small-capacity receiving buffer memory of a printing apparatus and put an extremely small burden on a host apparatus. A PC has an IEEE 1394 interface section for communicating with a printer, a memory that can be accessed by a printer and that stores text data, and a CPU that provides the printer with an information block that includes address information of text data. The printer has an IEEE 1394 interface section for communicating with the PC, a printing section for printing on a recording medium, and a CPU that reads text data stored in the memory of the PC on the basis of an address of the information block that includes the address information of the text data provided by the PC, and causes the printing section to perform printing.
