Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a printer, by which an image is printed in a raster mode by counting the number of functions that affect the printing speed from the image, and a method thereof are provided. In this printer controlling method, a page area to be printed is classified into image data and font data, when a printing command is received from an application. Next, the image data is divided into objects and processed in units of objects. Then, the number of functions for outputting the processed objects is counted. If the counted value is equal to or greater than a limit value, the page area is converted into a bitmap.
