Patent ID: 8107111

Claim:
A print processing system configured by connecting, via a network, an information processing apparatus which generates print data, and an image forming apparatus which receives the print data and executes print processing, comprising: said information processing apparatus comprises first reception unit adapted to receive, via the network, ID-added device information which is set in said image forming apparatus and includes paper type information representing a current paper type, generation unit adapted to generate, as a print setting including paper type information for print data to be printed by said image forming apparatus, a print setting having an ID of the ID-added device information received by said first reception unit, and first transmission unit adapted to transmit, to said image forming apparatus via the network, print data by generating the print data including the print setting generated by said generation unit; and said image forming apparatus comprises setting unit adapted to set the ID-added device information including the paper type information, storage unit adapted to store ID-added current device information set by said setting unit, and ID-added previous device information set previously, second transmission unit adapted to transmit the ID-added current device information via the network in response to a request from said information processing apparatus, second reception unit adapted to receive print data from said information processing apparatus via the network, determination unit adapted to determine whether device information having an ID coincident with an ID of device information included in a print setting of the print data received by said second reception unit exists in said storage unit, execution unit adapted to, when said determination means determines that the device information having the ID coincident with the ID of the device information included in the print setting exists in said storage means, execute print processing for the print data received by said second reception unit in accordance with the ID-added device information and the print setting, and display unit adapted to, when said determination means determines that the device information having the ID coincident with the ID of the device information included in the print setting does not exist in said storage means, display paper type information set in the print setting.
