• recording, for every execution of printing, a first print setting therefor into a log;
• comparing a second print setting regarding print data targeted for printing with the first print setting recorded in the log to determine whether the second print setting is already recorded in the log, or not;
• determining whether the second print setting is already registered in a registration section, or not;
• and
• displaying a message for advising a user to perform registration of the second print setting into the registration section if it is determined that the second print setting is already recorded in the log, and further, the second print setting is not registered in the registration section, and displaying a message for notifying a user of a fact that the second print setting is already registered in the registration section if it is determined that the second print setting is already registered in the registration section.
