Claim 0:
1. A printing device, comprising:
an external interface;
a non-volatile memory; and
a computer configured to:
obtain a print job containing PJL data and PDL data via the external interface; and
perform a printing process in accordance with the obtained print job,

wherein the non-volatile memory stores a conversion rule in which non-target PJL data that is not supported by the printing device and target PDL data that is supported by the printing device, and
wherein the computer is configured to perform:
obtaining the print job via the external interface;
in a first case where the PJL data contained in the print job obtained in the obtaining matches the non-target PJL data registered with the conversion rule stored in the non-volatile memory, first converting the PJL data to the target PDL data associated with the non-target PJL data that matches the PJL data in the conversion rule;
the printing process using the target PDL that is converted, in the first converting, from the non-target PJL data contained in the print job obtained in the obtaining; and
no process according to the PJL data itself that is a target to be matched in the first case.
