A printing system which includes a printer connected with at least one user terminal by a wire or wirelessly to print printing data transmitted from the user terminal, prevents printing of data before a special printing job and a printing method for the same. In the printing system, the user terminal connectable with the printer includes a printer driver to set a pause mode to temporarily prevent a printing operation in the printer, and a monitoring program unit to monitor an operation status of the printer and to display information supplied from the printer on the pause-set printing data. The printer includes a control unit to inform the user terminal the pause-set printing data is printed, upon receiving the pause-set printing data and to control second printing data supplied from a second user terminal to stand by.
