Abstract
Compatibility with an operating system is maintained, and a high-quality print image is efficiently previewed with a simple arrangement and small memory area. A printer driver program executed by a host computer () which controls the operation of a printer () adopts a processing arrangement in which a print processor () is interposed between a preview request from a previewer () and generation of image data by a printer graphic driver (). This processing arrangement causes the printer graphic driver () to create image data for a preview display. The created image data is transferred to the previewer () in accordance with an instruction from the print processor ().
