Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus which can communicate with a server which generates print data, and an image forming apparatus having a print unit, the information processing apparatus comprising: a display unit configured, in response to accepting a print instruction for application data edited by a user via an application screen, to acquire a print setting screen from the server and to display the print setting screen; a monitoring unit configured, after a print setting has been set via the print setting screen displayed by the display unit, to monitor an input of a user operation for sending a print execution request to the server; an acquisition unit configured, in a case where the monitoring unit detects the input of the user operation for sending the print execution request to the server, to acquire the print setting before the print execution request is sent to the server, wherein the print setting acquired by the acquisition unit is not sent to the server; a reflection unit configured, after a direct print screen is received from the image forming apparatus, to reflect the print setting acquired by the acquisition unit to a print setting of the direct print screen; and a sending unit configured, in a case where a print instruction is input via the direct print screen that the print setting has been reflected by the reflection unit, to send the print setting of the direct print screen to the server, to receive print data generated based on the sent print setting by the server, and to send the received print data to the image forming apparatus.
