  • Patent number: 7497535
    Abstract: Information related to ink mounted to a printer that performs printing is acquired, and information for designating a type of ink that has been set to be used in printing by the printer is acquired. Based on the set type of ink and acquired information, it is determined whether or not the printer can print with a type of ink other than the set type of ink to be used. If it is determined that the printing is possible, displaying is executed to have a user confirm the set type of ink.
