<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a printing control method for performing printout with a print attribute desired by a user even when combining a plurality of jobs and performing a print request in a host computer so as to execute printing without an interrupt. <P>SOLUTION: A printing control apparatus allocates a value of page attribute to each page included in a job according to a job attribute set to the job in an intermediate code format that corresponds to data to be printed generated by an application. If a combining instruction is issued to combine a plurality of jobs whose specific job attributes in which only one attribute value can be allocated to one job are allocated different attribute values into one combined job, the apparatus processes the intermediate code format data so that printing is performed according to the allocated page attribute values. The apparatus then generates a combined job and transmits the generated combined job as print data to the printing apparatus. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
