Abstract

The printing control device of the present invention inquires whether or not an actual output printer driver supports the function of the items regarding drawing processing in step SC 1503 . If it is found as a result of inquiry in step SC 1504 that the printer driver does not support the function, the printing control device processes print data in step SC 1506 . On the other hand, if the printer driver supports the function in step SC 1504 , the printing control device determines whether or not the print setting corresponding to the function is enabled in step SC 1505 . If the printing control device determines that the print setting is disabled, the process advances to step SC 1506 and the printing control device processes print data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A printing control device including a driver for generating print data based on a print job in an intermediate format in which print setting information is set, the printing control device comprising:
a function determining unit configured to determine whether or not the driver supports a predetermined function among the print setting information;
a transmission unit configured to transmit the print job in the intermediate format to the driver to cause the…
