Device capability information associated with a print job is specified, and it is determined whether the specified device capability information is valid in a printing system. If it is determined that the specified device capability information is valid, print processing is done. If it is determined that the specified device capability information is invalid, it is further determined whether the printing system can execute the print job. Then, execution of the print processing is controlled.
A printing system including a printing apparatus configured to perform print processing based on a print job, the system comprising:
A print job processing method in a printing system including a printing apparatus which performs print processing based on a print job, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program configured to cause a computer running the program to carry out a method in a printing system including a printing apparatus which performs print processing based on a print job, the method comprising:

2. Description of the Related Art
FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an example of the overall configuration of a POD system (printing environment) including a printing system 1000 to be controlled in an embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of the printing system 1000 to be controlled in the embodiment;
FIG. 3 is a view for explaining an example of the configuration of the printing system 1000 to be controlled in the embodiment;
Illustrative embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Building components set forth in these embodiments are merely examples. The technical scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims and is not limited to the individual embodiments to be described below.
<<First Embodiment>>
The first embodiment can provide a technique of continuing processing after conducting a device capability information test when it cannot be confirmed whether a printing apparatus can process a JDF, upon a change of JDF specifications processible by the printing apparatus. Even for a JDF created while device specifications and configuration information are unknown, processing can continue after performing the device capability information test. This can improve user-friendliness of the device.
