Abstract: A printing control apparatus has an input unit with several keys, and a printing control unit that receives a print command from the input unit. The print command initiates a print operation at a printer. A determination unit of the printing control apparatus determines whether a predetermined key is pressed at the same time that the print command is received. If the determination unit determines that the predetermined key is pressed at the same time that the print command is received, an update unit updates a setup value of a parameter relating to a printing mode to a specific value from a predetermined value. The printer executes the print operation in accordance with the setup value of the parameter.

Abstract: A computer is provided with an application and a printer driver. A user of the computer generates image data using the application. When the image data is for a plurality of pages, the user selects a desired watermark for each of the plurality of pages. The printer driver converts the image data into print data, and combines selected watermarks with the print data for corresponding pages, thereby generating updated print data. The updated print data is output as a single print job to the printer. The printer executes printing operations based on the print job so as to print an image on a plurality of pages, each formed with a corresponding watermark.

Abstract: In order to enable an user to uninstall multiple device drivers that are required by a single multifunction device all at once, an uninstall system creates during installation an installer registry for the multifunction device that is different from a system registry. Data specifying the multiple related device drivers, such as a scanner driver, printer driver, and fax driver, is stored in association with each other in this installer registry, enabling the multiple device drivers to be easily identified and uninstalled together. Further, by displaying a list dialog box, the user can indicate specific device(s) for which the multiple device drivers are to be uninstalled.

Abstract: A personal computer acquires the number of pages L to be laid in one surface of a medium specified by a user, thereby acquiring a page number K to be considered to be a page break for one copy. A counter is incremented every time print data corresponding to one page are transmitted to a printer. When the value of the counter has exceeded the page-break page number K, recording of a top page of the next copy on the same recording paper is prevented by inserting a blank page, so long as the counter does not assume a multiple of the page number L.
