Abstract
The printing system of the present invention enables the display of information to an operator indicating that printing has been halted even when it is the host computer that causes the halt in printing. When a print data preview is set, a print processor reads print data from a spool file, generates a preview image using a printer graphics driver and provides that preview image to a previewer. A status monitor then monitors and displays the status of a printer and the print processor.
