Abstract
A computer, which executes a color machine driver for outputting print data generated by an application program for generating the print data to a color image forming apparatus, accepts an interlocking setting, which is a setting for whether a color setting which is a setting for causing the color image forming apparatus to execute color printing or monochrome printing is interlocked with the application program. In case that the color setting is set not to be interlocked with the application program in the interlocking setting, when the color setting in the color machine driver is a color setting that causes the color image forming apparatus to execute the monochrome printing, the computer causes the application program to generate print data for the color image, and executes a monochrome image forming process for converting the color image into a monochrome image.
