A printer controller analyzes the job language section of the print job supplied from the host computer to see if the calibration stop command set by the host computer is included in this job language section. When it judges that the calibration stop command is included in the job language section, the controller sets a flag, which indicates whether or not to allow the execution of calibration, to a content specifying the prohibition of the calibration. In the subsequent processing of print data, the flag set in this way can prevent the calibration from being executed even when a calibration request is made. As a result, in a print system comprising a host computer and a printer, it is possible to prevent unnecessary calibration from being executed and thereby deal properly with the user requirements in terms of the execution of calibration.
