Data processing apparatus, print control method, computer-readable storage medium, and program stored therein

A print control method for use with a data processing apparatus which includes storage means for storing for each record medium and group the optimum print profile for the record medium, and can transfer print data to a printer capable of determining a media group corresponding to feature information obtained from the printer by referring to a media sensor capable of detecting the feature of a type of a record medium at a print request from an application, and a determination table for determination of the record medium as a plurality of media groups corresponding to information detected by the media sensor, comprising:

• a first print setting step of setting a printing condition for the print data;
• and
• a third print setting step of setting a printing condition for the print data by obtaining the media group determined on the printer side, and selecting a print profile corresponding to any group stored in the storage means based on the printing condition set by the first print setting step.

A data processing apparatus, comprising:

• setting means for setting a type of paper based on a paper group determined depending on a result of sensing a medium and a paper size set by a user;
• and
• generation means for generating print data using a profile corresponding to the type of paper set by the setting means.

A print control method, comprising:

• a setting step of setting a type of paper based on a paper group determined depending on a result of sensing a medium and a paper size set by a user;
• and
• a generating step of generating print data using a profile corresponding to the type of paper set by the setting step.

A program product, comprising:

• a setting step of setting a type of paper based on a paper group determined depending on a result of sensing a medium and a paper size set by a user;
• and
• a generating step of generating print data using a profile corresponding to the type of paper set by the setting step.
