Abstract
A method for controlling printing for causing a printing apparatus which can print on a sheet of paper having a size other than a predetermined size to print data generated by an application capable of allocating pages corresponding to a sheet of paper having the predetermined size to a printing area includes setting a first paper size to the application in which a predetermined printing area is determined, acquiring a second paper size corresponding to the predetermined printing area and setting the second paper size to the application based on page allocation of the first paper size to the predetermined printing area, and notifying a printer driver of the second paper size. Consequently, printing can be performed by a simple operation so that print data suitably fits into a page width of a sheet of paper, even when a printing area aspect ratio can be arbitrarily determined.
