PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network data processing system suitable for achieving reduction of network traffic volume and shortening of the time elapsed before first print out.;SOLUTION: A client unit 100 generates printing data formed by segmenting data with respect to each component that constitutes printing contents, transmits a printing request including header information 402 to a printer 200, searches for partial data from inside a storage part 16 in response to an acquisition request, and transmits the retrieved partial data to the printer 200. When the printing request is received, the printer 200 analyzes the received printing request, determines whether or not the partial data required for forming the printing data is stored in a storage part 40, acquires insufficient partial data from the client unit 100 having a small hop count, stores the acquired partial data in the storage part 40, and forms the printing data based on the partial data of the storage part 40.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
