Abstract

See full text

A user interface is configured to receive a user instruction when a user sets a print condition for a printer. At least one setting item including a plurality of set contents is set for the print condition. An obtaining unit obtains a status of the printer. Each of the plurality of set contents is a suitable set content suitable for the status of the printer or an unsuitable set content suitable for the status of the printer. A determination unit determines whether a set content set for the one setting item is the suitable set content or the unsuitable set content based on the status of the printer. A control unit executes at least one of a process for restricting the set content, which is determined as the unsuitable set content by the determination unit, from being used for a printing operation and a process for allowing a user to distinguish the set content, which is determined as the unsuitable setting, from another set content in the plurality of set contents which is determined as the suitable set content in the user interface.
