ABSTRACT:
A print control system for controlling a computer system comprising a processing unit, a memory unit, a display unit, an input unit and a printer. The memory unit has print request blocks each for storing information necessary for printing a document, and an area for storing a print queue for defining the print execute order of the print request blocks. The processing unit executes a print request program through which a print request provided by the operator is set together with necessary information in the print request block and the print request block is added to the print queue, a print execute program through which information stored in the print request blocks is fetched sequentially in the order of registration of the print request block in the print queue and the printer is controlled for printing operation on the basis of the information, a printing status operating program through which the contents of the print queue are displayed on the display unit, the print request block is removed from the print queue and the order of the print request blocks in the print queue is changed in conformity to instructions given by the operator, and a system management program through which those programs are activated for controlling the printing operation.
