Abstract
If another person comes close to a printing apparatus or print control apparatus during output of a print job by authenticated printing, he/she may accidentally glance at an output material, and private information or confidential information to be hidden may leak. To solve this problem, a print control apparatus according to an embodiment of this invention executes the following control processing. That is, if a received print job is an authenticated print job requiring authentication processing and there is a person nearby the print control apparatus other than the executor of the authenticated print job, a selection screen for accepting execution or holding of printing is displayed. In accordance with an instruction input to the selection screen, printing of the authenticated print job by the printing unit is controlled.
