A printing control device includes a nozzle information obtainment unit that obtains the position of a discharge-failing nozzle which fails to discharge ink in a printing head which includes a nozzle array, a data generation unit that generates printing data in which a dot position is associated with a nozzle which discharges ink so that a raster which is one line and is configured by a plurality of dot positions is configured through multiple times of a scan, and a data correction unit that specifies a first position which is the position where ink is discharged by a discharge-failing nozzle and corrects the printing data so that non-discharge of ink is associated with the first position, and discharge of ink is associated with a second position between which the first position is interposed when discharge of ink is associated with the first position in the printing data generated.
