Claim 13:
14. A printing process method of using a plurality of printing devices to create a plurality of print labels to be overlaid on each other, the plurality of print labels including a first print label and a second print label, the printing process method comprising:
(a) generating:
first label data for creating the first print label, the first label data including a first set of print data and first attribute specification information, the first set of print data indicating a first printing content for the first print label, the first attribute specification information specifying printing medium attributes to be used to create the first print label; and
second label data for creating the second print label, the second label data including a second set of print data and second attribute specification information, the second set of print data indicating a second printing content for the second print label, the second attribute specification information specifying printing medium attributes to be used to create the second print label;

(b) acquiring first medium type information indicating a type of a printing medium mounted in a first printing device;
(c) acquiring second medium type information indicating a type of a printing medium mounted in a second printing device;
(d) determining the first printing device, selected from the plurality of printing devices, as corresponding to a first output destination for the first set of print data when the first medium type information matches the first attribute specification information;
(e) determining the second printing device, selected from the plurality of printing devices, as corresponding to a second output destination for the second set of print data when the second medium type information matches the second attribute specification information; and
(f) transmitting, only after the first printing device is determined in (d) as the first output destination for the first set of print data and only after the second printing device is determined in (e) as the second output destination for the second set of print data, the first set of print data and the second set of print data to the first printing device and the second printing device, respectively.
