Abstract
A control device of a printer can delete unnecessary data left in the printer when processing is interrupted without relying on user intervention. A control device of a printer that prints according to print data has a transmission monitor unit that sends the print data to the printer. Based on the status of a storage unit of the printer, the transmission monitor unit sends a command to delete identical data from the storage unit to the printer before sending the print data to the printer.
