Abstract
It is determined to cause the printing apparatus to print when the printing apparatus receives a first print job which is issued and does not cause the printing apparatus to print. When it is determined to cause the printing apparatus to print, the print control apparatus controls the printing apparatus to print an image corresponding to a second print job for causing the printing apparatus to print based on the second print job.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- an issuing unit configured to issue a provisional job which does not contain execution data for causing a printing device to perform print processing, and to issue a print job which contains the execution data;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine to cause the printing device to perform print processing on a condition that the printing device receives the provisional job which is issued by said issuing unit,
- wherein, in a case where said determination unit determines to cause the printing device to perform print processing, said issuing unit is configured to issue the print job to the printing device, and
- wherein said issuing unit is configured to issue the provisional job and the print job in a common data format.
A method comprising the steps of:
- issuing a provisional job which does not contain execution data for causing a printing device to perform print processing;
- determining to cause the printing device to perform print processing on a condition that the printing device receives the provisional job which is issued in the issuing step;
- and
- in a case where the printing device is determined in the determination step to be caused to perform print processing, issuing a print job which contains the execution data and has a data format in common with the provisional job, to the printing device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a printing device to print an image, the program causing a computer to:
- issue a provisional job which does not contain execution data for causing the printing device to perform print processing,
- determine to cause the printing device to perform print processing on a condition that the printing device receives the issued provisional job, and
- in a case where the printing device is determined to be caused to perform print processing, issue a print job which contains the execution data and has a data format in common with the provisional job, to the printing device.
A system including an apparatus and a printing device,
- the apparatus comprising:
- an issuing unit configured to issue a provisional job which does not contain execution data for causing a printing device to perform print processing, and to issue a print job which contains the execution data;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine to cause the printing device to perform print processing on a condition that the printing device receives the provisional job which is issued by said issuing unit, and
- the printing device comprising;
- a receiving unit configured to receive the provisional job, and to receive the print job,
- wherein, in a case where said determination unit determines to cause the printing device to perform print processing, said issuing unit is configured to issue the print job to the printing device, and
- wherein said issuing unit is configured to issue the provisional job and the print job in a common data format.
