Image forming apparatus executing form printing application for printing document on network, control method therefor, and storage medium storing control program therefor

Abstract

An image forming apparatus capable of recording an error that occurs before inputting a job in a job execution history. The image forming apparatus includes a network communication unit, a print unit that prints image data included in an input print job, a job-history recording unit that records a print result by the print unit as a job history, and an application manager that executes an application based on occurrence of a start factor. The application includes an obtainment unit that obtains image data via a network using the network communication unit, a job input unit that inputs a print job of the obtained image data into the image forming apparatus, and an error-recording-job input unit that inputs an error recording job into the image forming apparatus when an error occurs in execution of the application and the job input unit does not input the print job.
