ABSTRACT:
A printing method and apparatus for receiving print data from an external apparatus, for developing the received data into image data, and for outputting and printing onto a recording medium are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a printer to print the print data onto a recording medium; an instructing circuit to instruct inhibition of the printing; and a controller to control so as to inhibit the printing process by the printer when printing inhibition has been instructed by the instructing circuit. With the apparatus, an unnecessary printing operation and wasteful consumption of recording papers and various articles of consumption at the time of a test of the printing, a repair, or the like can be prevented.
