Abstract
A printing control device includes a nozzle information obtainment unit that obtains the position of a discharge-failing nozzle which fails to discharge ink in a printing head which includes a plurality of nozzles discharging ink, a data generation unit that generates printing data in which a dot position which is the position of a dot constituting an image printed on a printing medium is associated with the amount of ink discharged to the dot position, and a data correction unit that specifies a second position which is adjacent to a first position where ink is discharged by the discharge-failing nozzle in the printing data on the basis of the position of the discharge-failing nozzle obtained and corrects the printing data so that the amount of ink which is greater than the amount of ink associated with the second position in the printing data generated is associated with the second position.
