PRINT CONTROLLER, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM AND RECORDING MEDIUM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a print controller of a printing system, etc. capable of responding to a user's request for convenience for printing processing while assuring security to print data held in a server. SOLUTION: In the print controller, a server 100 has a print data transmitting/receiving part 110 which transmits and receives device dependent type print data from a client 200, a print data holding part 120 which holds the received print data and a certificate information generation part 140 which generates information for certifying the server to which transmission of the print data held in the print data holding part 120 to a printer 300 is allowed as certificate information. In this case, the certificate information generation part 140 adds the certificate information to the print data held in the print data holding part 120 based on a fetching request of the print data from the client 200 and the print data transmitting/receiving part 110 transmits the print data to which the certificate information is added to the client 200.
