A print control apparatus that makes it possible to conduct the print controlling operations in the interruption printing mode, so as to optimize the beneficial balance between the interrupting side and the interrupted side. The apparatus includes a job-status parameter acquiring section to acquire job-status parameters including a residual printing time of the first print job, a printing time of the second print job, a first priority degree representing an implementation priority of the first print job and a second priority degree representing another implementation priority of the second print job and a controlling section to determine whether or not the interruption printing operation should be allowed, namely, an availability of the interruption printing operation, based on the residual printing time of the first print job, the printing time of the second print job, and at least one of the first priority degree and the second priority degree.
