Printing apparatus and printing method

A printing apparatus communicating with an information processing apparatus having a setting unit adapted to set, for each page range, a print process condition used to print image data of a plurality of pages, a generation unit adapted to generate a print job including the print process condition set by the setting unit and the image data, and a transmission unit adapted to transmit the print job generated by the generation unit to said printing apparatus, said printing apparatus comprising:

• a reception unit adapted to receive the print job transmitted by the transmission unit;
• a change unit adapted to change, for each page range, the print process condition contained in the print job received by said reception unit;
• and
• a printing unit adapted to execute a print process based on the print process condition changed by said change unit.

A method for printing, comprising the steps of:

• causing an information processing apparatus to set, for each page range, a print process condition used to print image data of a plurality of pages;
• causing the information processing apparatus to generate a print job by adding the print process condition set to the image data of the plurality of pages;
• transmitting the generated print job from the information processing apparatus to a printing apparatus;
• causing the printing apparatus to receive the transmitted print job;
• causing the printing apparatus to change, for each page range, the print process condition contained in the received print job;
• and
• causing the printing apparatus to execute a print process on the basis of the changed print process condition.
