ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling the order of print operations for a printer comprises the following steps of: determining whether a printer engine is performing a print operation if print operation information has been received from one or more computers connected to a network; storing the print operation information if the printer engine is performing the print operation; requesting a computer that has transmitted the print operation information to transmit print data if the printer engine is not performing the print operation, and initializing a counter if the print data is received from the computer; counting a print time period and determining whether the counted time period exceeds a predetermined print time period; detecting print operation information, which satisfies a predetermined condition, from stored print operation information if a counted time period exceeds a predetermined print time period; stopping temporarily the print operation for the print data transmitted from the computer if the print operation information which satisfies a predetermined condition is detected, and receiving print data from the computer and printing the print data; receiving continuously print data from the computer and resuming the temporarily stopped print operation, if the print operation is completed.
