Printing method and device, and printing client

The invention provides a printing method and device, and a printing client. The printing method provided by the invention is applied to a printing client, and comprises the following steps: when a printing request for a printing object is received, dividing the printing object into a plurality of sub-objects; for each sub-object, identifying an object type to which the sub-object belongs; for eachsub-object, compressing the sub-object by adopting a compression algorithm corresponding to the object type to which the sub-object belongs to obtain a compressed printing object, wherein the compression algorithms corresponding to different object types are different; and sending the compressed printing object to a printer for printing. According to the printing method and device, and the printing client, a data volume transmitted in the printing process can be reduced. 本申请提供一种打印方法、装置和打印客户端。本申请提供的打印方法，应用于打印客户端，所述方法包括：在接收到针对打印对象的打印请求时，将打印对象划分为多个子对象；针对每个子对象，识别该子对象所属的对象类型；针对每个子对象，采用与该子对象所属的对象类型对应的压缩算法对该子对象进行压缩，得到压缩后的打印
