Description

上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の一つの側面は、ＯＳカーネル層のオペレーティングシステムによって動作しアプリケーション層に備えられるアプリケーションによって所定の処理を実行する、２以上の通信ポートを有するコンピューターにおいて、前記アプリケーションから出力される印刷データの処理を実行させる印刷データ処理方法であって、前記コンピューターが、所定の前記通信ポートへ出力される前記印刷データを、当該通信ポートが受け取る前に、前記ＯＳカーネル層で取得するデータ取得工程と、前記アプリケーション層で、前記データ取得工程で取得された印刷データを解析し、当該解析の結果に基づいて、当該印刷データを出力する１以上の前記通信ポートを決定し、当該決定した通信ポートに接続されるデバイスに相応しいデータに当該印刷データを変換し、当該変換後の印刷データを前記決定した通信ポートに出力する印刷データ処理工程と、を有する、ことである。 In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention relates to a computer having two or more communication ports that is operated by an operating system of the OS kernel layer and executes predetermined processing by an application provided in the application layer . there are, a printing data processing method for executing processing of the print data output from the application, the computer, the print data output to a predetermined said communication port, before the communication ports receives the One or more communication ports that analyze the print data acquired in the data acquisition step in the data acquisition step acquired in the OS kernel layer and output the print data based on the analysis result Device connected to the determined communication port. The print data is converted into appropriate data, the print data after the conversion; and a print data processing step of outputting to the communication port with the determined, is that.

上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の更に別の側面は、コンピューターに、上記に記載の印刷データ処理方法における各工程を実行させるためのプログラムである。 In order to achieve the above object, still another aspect of the present invention is a program for causing a computer to execute each step in the print data processing method described above .
