  • Patent number: 9606753
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus starts processing for downloading first print data based on a first print setting from an external apparatus. If a change from the first print setting to a second print setting is received and if second print data based on the second print setting needs to be downloaded from the external apparatus, the data processing apparatus stops the processing for downloading the first print data, starts processing for downloading the second print data from the external apparatus, and then transmits a print job based on the second print data to a printing apparatus. If the second print data does not need to be acquired from the external apparatus, the data processing apparatus transmits a print job based on the first print data and the second print setting to the printing apparatus.
