Abstract
A plurality of printers are used in an efficient manner. The printing time of each of a plurality of printers is detected, and so is the overall printing workload of printing performed using the plurality of printers. On the basis of the detected printing times and overall printing workload, print processing by the plurality of printers is controlled in such a manner that print processing executed by the plurality of printers ends approximately simultaneously. As a result, images of a plurality of frames can be printed promptly.
