Abstract
An apparatus for controlling printing allows the user to realize the occurrence of an error in real time and reliably notifies the system administrator of details output in an error information page. When the processing is stopped due to an error while print data is being created, the apparatus reads the details of an error definition form, which is defined in advance, creates the error information page, to which instructions to shift to an offline state are add if needed, and adds the error information page to the print data. A printer analyzes the print data. If the instructions are received to shift to the offline state, the printer shifts to the offline state. The user presses an online button so that the printer in the offline state outputs the error information page.
