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.
