Abstract
A printer driver () divides printing data, which controls printing of a printer, into one or plural data to record the data, to each of which information for discriminating the data is added, as a sub-file (), as well as creates a sub-file name data () for specifying the sub-file () and records it as a spooling file (). The printer driver () also creates a file () for writing a print controlling command and records the file name thereof in the spooling file (). When a print cancellation instruction is received during the printing performance, a print cancellation command is written in the file (). The print processor () refers the print spooling file () to read the sub-file () in order, so that the printing data included in the file would be transferred to a printer (). The completely transferred sub-file is deleted. The print processor () monitors the file () while the printing data is transferred to the printer (), and stops the following printing when the cancellation command is written.
