Abstract:
1. A printing system comprising a print-data generating device and a printing device, wherein the print-data generating device is connected to the printing device via a first bidirectional transmission path and a second bidirectional transmission path, the second transmission path having a higher transfer speed than that of the first transmission path, the print-data generating device includes the printing device includes the first communication unit transmits and receives, to and from the printing device via the second transmission path, specific control information that is included in the control information and that affects transfer of the print data, and the second communication unit transmits and receives the specific control information to and from the print-data generating device via the second transmission path, wherein the first transmission path is a transmission path that is compatible with Ethernet®, and the second transmission path is a transmission path that is compatible with PCI Express.
