Abstract
This system provides a mechanism that allows for easy setting of the probability of drawing in random printing by using the rating information of image data. [Solution] The printing device 100 performs random printing, printing image data randomly selected from among multiple image data stored in a folder on the recording medium 104. The printing device 100 sets a lottery probability for each rating information assigned to the image data. The printing device 100 selects the image data to be printed in random printing from among multiple image data based on the rating information assigned to the image data and the set lottery probability, and prints the selected image data.
