Abstract
At least one printer is connected to an image source such as a digital camera via a network. When the printer receives a notification from the image source to switch a first image displayed on a display device to a second image, the printer displays an identifier of the second image according to the notification, and lights up an LED on a print button provided on the printer. When a period in which the printer is permitted to print the displayed image reaches a set time before a timeout, the LED on the print button is flashed. When the timeout is reached, the LED is turned off. When the print button is depressed, the printer sends a request for an image to the image source, receives image data for the image sent from the image source, and prints the image. When the print button is depressed to confirm a decision to print a displayed image while the printer is printing another image, the print decision is stored in a storage device in the printer, and the printer retrieves and executes the stored print decision after the ongoing printing operation is completed.
