Abstract
A printing system, print control device, and print control method enable non-technical users without specific technical knowledge to appropriately set the flushing conditions of a printer. A host that sends commands to an inkjet printer that prints on a print medium provides a user interface for selecting an operating mode prioritizing the throughput of the printing operation, or a normal operating mode. When the operating mode prioritizing printer throughput is selected using the user interface, the host generates a command setting a condition for flushing the ink nozzles of the inkjet printer, and sends the generated command to the inkjet printer.
