Abstract
Conventionally, it has been impossible to perform a formatted print precisely corresponding to functions of various printers. To solve this problem, formatted print data and printer capability data are stored. When a print instruction is issued, formatted print candidates are presented based on the formatted print data. When a formatted print is selected from these candidates, the printer capability data is referenced to set a combination of print conditions for performing the formatted print and actually perform printing. The printer capability data is stored for each printer model. Therefore, a proper print condition can be set for each printer model to perform a given formatted print. As a result, it becomes possible to perform a formatted print precisely corresponding to printer functions.
