Information processing apparatus and method, and storage medium storing program for executing the method

摘要

A computer analyzes a printing instruction received from the user, and recognizes situations, e.g., properties and status, of available printers. When analysis of the printing instruction results in that a process instructed from the user is to print a colored document and an apparatus instructed to execute the process is a monochromatic printer, and recognition of the situations results in that an available color printer exists, the computer determines that the instructed printing process of the colored document should be instructed to not the monochromatic printer having been instructed, but the color printer, and then issues to the user an inquiry of whether to print the document by the color printer. <IMAGE>
