Abstract:
1. A method to be implemented by a print setting device for setting a print setting item which specifies a print condition in a printing device selected by a user from a plurality of printing devices, the method comprising the steps of: judging whether or not the printing device selected by the user is one of printers that have been searched out with using a functional condition as a search condition; reflecting the functional condition in an initial value of the print setting item for the printing device if the judgment in the judging step is affirmative; and setting the initial value of the print setting item for the printing device in conformity to a succession rule determined in advance, when the printing device is judged in the judging step to have been searched out without using the functional condition as the search condition, wherein the succession rule determined in advance is a rule in which a value which has been set in advance is taken over as the initial value of the print setting item under a predetermined condition when an object of the selection is changed to another printing device.
