摘要

A print control apparatus which is capable of performing continued processing of a job upon power restoration of the print control apparatus, according to the status of the job before power-off of the apparatus. A job management section cancels jobs in progress according to a power-off instruction. A job analysis section determines the status of each cancelled job. The job management section sets discrimination information for a job to be processed after power restoration of the print control apparatus, according to the determined status of the job.
