1. A printing method comprising:
a first printing setting information receiving step in which a first information processing unit receives, from a first information supplying unit, first printing setting information for simulating printing to be executed by a second printing unit;
a first printing instructing step in which the first information processing unit instructs a first printing unit different from the second printing unit to print first printing data based on the first printing setting information received in the first printing setting information receiving step;
a first printing step in which the first printing unit executes, according to the instruction from the first information processing unit in the first printing instructing step, the printing of the first printing data based on the first printing setting information;
a transmitting step in which the first information processing unit transmits, to a second information supplying unit, second printing data based on the first printing data used for the execution of the printing by the first printing unit in the first printing step and second printing setting information based on a colorimetric result concerning the first printing data;
a receiving step in which the second information supplying unit receives, from the first information processing unit, the second printing data and the second printing setting information transmitted in the transmitting step;
a second printing setting information receiving step in which a second information processing unit receives, from the second information supplying unit, the second printing data and the second printing setting information received in the receiving step;
a second printing instructing step in which the second information processing unit instructs the second printing unit to print the second printing data based on the second printing setting information received in the second printing setting information receiving step; and
a second printing step in which the second printing unit executes, according to the instruction from the second information processing unit in the second printing instructing step, the printing of the second printing data based on the second printing setting information.
