Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus capable of outputting pages to be printed to a print device, comprising: an interleave page determination unit which determines whether or not to output an interleave page before or after a print target page; a determination unit which, when said interleave page determination unit determines to output the interleave page before or after the print target page, determines whether or not identical contents are printed on all the interleave pages; a blank page output determination unit which determines whether or not to permit outputting a blank page; an output unit which outputs the print target page and the interleave page to the print device, without executing determination by said blank page output determination unit, when said determination unit determines that identical contents are not printed on all the interleave pages to be outputted; and a control unit which controls said output unit to prevent outputting both the print target page and the interleave page if the print target page is the blank page even if the interleave page is not the blank page, when said determination unit determines that identical contents are printed on all the interleave pages to be outputted and said blank page output determination unit determines that the blank page is not permitted outputting.
