A host device includes an interface part to receive directly-printable
file types from an image forming apparatus; and a controller to provide a
popup menu to set a direct print option, if a file corresponding to the
received file types is selected from among previously stored files.
Accordingly, whether or not it is possible to perform direct-printing of
a file which a user desires to print may be displayed, and thus
direct-printing can be performed without individually checking whether
each file is a directly-printable file type.
