Abstract
To enable automatic proxy printing and manual proxy printing to be switched and used, whether the automatic proxy printing has been set or not is discriminated. If it is determined that the automatic proxy printing has been set, the automatic proxy printing is executed. If it is determined that the automatic proxy printing is not set, the manual proxy printing is executed.
Claims8
A proxy print processing apparatus comprising:
- a discrimination unit, adapted to discriminate, upon occurrence of an error in a received print job, whether or not automatic proxy printing has been set;
- and
- a processing unit, adapted to execute the automatic proxy printing such that the print destination is changed to a preset printer without waiting for a user instruction if it is discriminated by the discrimination unit that the automatic proxy printing has been set and to execute manual proxy printing such that proxy printing is executed after a user instruction for the proxy printing with a user selected printer is given if it is discriminated by the discrimination unit that the automatic proxy printing has not been set,
- wherein the processing unit executes the manual proxy printing if the error in the received print job is a specific error, even when it is discriminated by the discrimination unit that the automatic proxy printing has been set.

A proxy print processing method comprising:
- a discrimination step of discriminating, upon occurrence of an error in a received print job, whether or not automatic proxy printing has been set;
- and
- a processing step of executing the automatic proxy printing such that the print destination is changed to a preset printer without waiting for a user instruction if it is discriminated in the discrimination step that the automatic proxy printing has been set and of executing manual proxy printing such that proxy printing is executed after a user instruction for the proxy printing with a user selected printer is given if it is discriminated in the discrimination step that the automatic proxy printing has not been set,
- wherein the processing step executes the manual proxy printing if the error in the received print job is a specific error, even when it is discriminated by the discrimination step that the automatic proxy printing has been set.
