Abstract:
A setting information editing unit of a printer driver changes the print setting of an input print job. Upon changing the print setting, a print function is limited by inhibiting selection of the print function provided by the printer driver in accordance with a print authorization processed by a print authorization processing unit. Since the resetting process after inputting the print job to a print control apparatus is also subjected to print function limitation, the print function can be limited upon print job input. Hence, consistent print function limitation can be done.
