Information processing apparatus, method, and storage medium storing program

An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with an external device comprising a printing unit, comprising:

• a memory containing instructions and a processor for executing the instructions to:
• acquire, from the external device, device information concerning the external device;
• if information corresponding to the external device being in a predetermined state in which processing using the printing unit is inexecutable is included in the acquired device information, display, on a display unit of the information processing apparatus, a screen for cancelling the predetermined state;
• and
• in a case where an operation of canceling the predetermined state includes an operation of powering off the external device, even if communication between the external device and the information processing apparatus becomes inexecutable after the screen for cancelling the predetermined state is displayed, not executing a notification indicating a state in which the communication between the external device and the information processing apparatus is inexecutable, and in a case where the operation of canceling the predetermined state does not include the operation of powering off the external device, executing, based on the communication between the device and the information processing apparatus becoming inexecutable after the screen for cancelling the predetermined state is displayed, the notification indicating the state in which the communication between the external device and the information processing apparatus is inexecutable.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program configured to cause a computer to function to:

• acquire, from an external device comprising a printing unit, device information concerning the external device;
• if information corresponding to the external device being in a predetermined state in which processing using the printing unit is inexecutable is included in the acquired device information, display, on a display unit of the information processing apparatus, a screen for cancelling the predetermined state;
• and
• in a case where an operation of canceling the predetermined state includes an operation of powering off the external device, even if communication between the device and the information processing apparatus becomes inexecutable after the screen for cancelling the predetermined state is displayed, not execute a notification indicating a state in which the communication between the external device and the information processing apparatus is inexecutable, and in a case where the operation of canceling the predetermined state does not include the operation of powering off the external device, execute, based on the communication between the device and the information processing apparatus becoming inexecutable after the screen for cancelling the predetermined state is displayed, the notification indicating the state in which the communication between the external device and the information processing apparatus is inexecutable.
