Information processing apparatus, control method for information processing apparatus, and storage medium

Abstract

The invention discloses an information processing apparatus, a control method for the information processing apparatus, and a storage medium. The control method for an information processing apparatus which prevent a page of a print job including a print setting which cannot be addressed by an image forming apparatus from being transmitted to the image forming apparatus. A print job generated in a printer driver to cause an image forming apparatus to perform printing is received from the printer driver. A print setting included in the received print job is analyzed based on conflict information for managing a combination that includes a combination of contents of print setting items that causes a conflict and is unmanageable by the printer driver. When the print job is transmitted, at least a page that causes a conflict with respect to the image forming apparatus, in the print job, is not transmitted based on a result of the analysis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a control method of the information processing apparatus, and a storage medium for judging a conflict due to contents of print setting items to cause an image forming apparatus to print a print job. Background technique [0002] In order to use a peripheral device such as an image forming device from an information processing device, it is generally necessary to integrate a specific device driver (a printer driver in the case of an image forming device) conforming to the peripheral device into an operating system running on the information processing device (OS). In the case of using this image forming apparatus, the printer driver is started from the application, required settings are made for printing, image data and print settings (hereinafter collectively referred to as a print job) are generated, and the generated print job is sent to the image form the device. The image formi...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the V4 driver, the V4 driver can confirm whether the print setting item causing the conflict is restricted by the OS

As a result, unlike the V3 driver, the V4 driver cannot manage many combinations of print setting items

In other words, the V4 driver is only capable of resolving a part of the conflicts that the traditional V3 driver solves, and regarding the combination of print setting items that the V4 driver cannot manage, there is no judgment as to whether or not the conflict is caused

Therefore, there is a risk that a print job including contradictory print settings that the image forming apparatus cannot resolve is input to the image forming apparatus, which is a problem
