Abstract
A printing system can stably transmit print data by a simple operation without deterioration of an image quality. A first printer system is connected to a communication line, and transmits the print data by electronic mail through the communication line. The print data to be transmitted is converted into data described in a printer language by a printer driver provided in the first printer system. A second printer system is connected to the communication line, and receives the electronic mail via the communication line. The second printer system performs a printing operation based on the print data contained in the received electronic mail.
