Claim:
1. A data processing apparatus comprising: at least a processor and at least a memory coupled to the at least the processor and having stored thereon instructions for causing, when executed by the at least the processor, the at least the processor and the at least the memory to cooperate to act as: a processing unit configured to start processing for downloading first print data and at least one page of an image for a preview from an external apparatus, the first print data being generated based on a first print setting; a reception unit configured to receive a change from the first print setting to a second print setting; a display unit configured to display a print execution button in a state where reception of a print execution instruction is disabled, and if a preview execution instruction is received and if the at least one page of the image for the preview is downloaded, the display unit displays the print execution button in a state where the reception of the print execution instruction is enabled; and a transmission unit configured to transmit to a printing apparatus a print job based on downloaded print data if the print execution instruction is received, wherein if the reception unit receives the change from the first print setting to the second print setting and if second print data based on the second print setting needs to be downloaded from the external apparatus, the processing unit stops the processing for downloading the first print data and starts processing for downloading the second print data from the external apparatus, and the transmission unit transmits a print job based on the second print data to the printing apparatus, and wherein if the reception unit receives the change from the first print setting to the second print setting and if the second print data does not need to be acquired from the external apparatus, the transmission unit transmits a print job based on the first print data and the second print setting to the printing apparatus.
