Abstract:
1. A network print system comprising: an information storing unit adapted to store document information and print set information showing print setting upon printing of the document information; a print output unit adapted to print on the basis of the document information; a discriminating unit adapted to compare a print setting which can be realized by said print output unit with the print setting shown by the print set information to discriminate whether a print based on the print set information can be performed in said print output unit or not; a calculating unit adapted to calculate a difference degree between the print setting shown by the print set information and each of a plurality of types of print settings which can be realized by said print output unit and is different from the print setting shown by the print set information; and a substitute presenting unit adapted to, if it is determined by said discriminating unit that the print cannot be preformed, present one of the plurality of types of print settings, in which the difference degree calculated by said calculating unit is smaller than the other of the plurality of types of print settings, as a substitute print setting for the print setting shown by the print set information.
