An interface board 3a used as a print control device has a reception unit 310 that receives print data; and a print control unit 320 that applies redirection control to send the print data to a second printing device different from the first printing device when the first printing device, which is the first print destination of the print data, is unable to print. In redirection control, the print control unit 320 sends the print data and additional information to the second printing device. The additional information includes status information causing the second printing device to print the status of the first printing device.
