A print controlling apparatus for controlling printing processing by using printing limitation information indicating printing limitation, comprising: an obtaining unit for obtaining the printing limitation information; a determining unit for checking consistency for each of printing setting items described in printing setting information by determining whether a value of each of the printing setting items described in the printing setting information is consistent with values of the other printing setting items described in the printing setting information; an identifying unit for identifying first printing setting information set to printing data out of the printing setting items determined to be consistent by the determining unit; and a deciding unit for performing a function of deciding second printing setting information by applying, to the first printing setting information identified by the identifying unit, one of restrictions in the printing limitation information, characterized in that the determining unit is adapted to check, upon occurrence of the second printing setting information being decided by the function of the deciding unit, consistency for each of printing setting items described in the second printing setting information by determining whether a value of each of the printing setting items described in the second printing setting information is consistent with values of the other printing setting items described in the second printing setting information, wherein in case the determining unit determines the second printing setting information to be consistent, the second printing setting information becomes the first printing setting information for the printing data and, if the printing limitation information comprises further restrictions, the deciding unit is adapted to repeat the function by applying a next restriction in the printing limitation information, and in case the determining unit determines the second printing setting information to be inconsistent, the determining unit is adapted to check whether a printing method is allowed that temporally relieves the printing limitation, and if the printing method is allowed, the first printing setting information of the print data is maintained and, if the printing limitation information comprises further restrictions, the deciding unit is adapted to repeat the function by applying a next restriction in the printing limitation information, and the apparatus further comprises an executing unit for allowing the first printing setting information for the printing data outside the range of the printing limitation information if the determining unit determines the second printing setting information as inconsistent, the printing limitation information do not comprise further restrictions, and the printing method is allowed that temporally relieves the printing limitation. an obtaining unit for obtaining the printing limitation information;
