Abstract
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus includes enabling one of a first setting and a second setting based on user operation. The first setting allows, in a case where content of at least one of a plurality of print setting items set to a predetermined folder is first content, and content corresponding to acquired information about an image forming apparatus and corresponding to the at least one print setting item is second content different from the first content, the image forming apparatus to perform printing based on the second content and based on the file in the predetermined folder.
Claims16
A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- setting content of a plurality of print setting items to a predetermined folder;
- acquiring information about an image forming apparatus;
- performing processing to cause the image forming apparatus to perform printing based on the content of the plurality of print setting items set to the predetermined folder and based on a file in the predetermined folder;
- and
- enabling one of a first setting and a second setting based on user operation, the first setting allowing, in a case where content of at least one of the plurality of print setting items set to the predetermined folder is first content, and content corresponding to the acquired information about the image forming apparatus and corresponding to the at least one print setting item is second content different from the first content, the image forming apparatus to perform printing based on the second content and based on the file in the predetermined folder, the second setting not allowing, in a case where the content of the at least one print setting item is the first content, and the content corresponding to the acquired information about the image forming apparatus and corresponding to the at least one print setting item is the second content, the image forming apparatus to perform the printing based on the second content and based on the file in the predetermined folder,
- wherein the first setting allows, in a case where the content of the at least one print setting item set to the predetermined folder is the first content and the content corresponding to the acquired information about the image forming apparatus and corresponding to the at least one print setting item is the second content, the image forming apparatus to perform the printing based on the second content and based on the file in the predetermined folder, but does not allow, in a case where content of a print setting item, different from the at least one print setting item, set to the predetermined folder is fourth content, and the content corresponding to the acquired information about the image forming apparatus and corresponding to the print setting item different from the at least one print setting item is fifth content different from the fourth content, the image forming apparatus to perform printing based on the fifth content and based on the file in the predetermined folder.
