Abstract
A method of reporting print options in a printing system, which includes an image forming apparatus to execute printing operation, a display apparatus, a storing medium, and a host computer to transmit print data to the image forming apparatus includes changing one or more print options in the printing system, in which the changing of print options is performed by an user, and selecting help information corresponding to the print options changed by the user from help information previously stored in the storing medium and outputting the selected help information through the image forming apparatus using the host computer when the printing operation is performed after the print options have been changed. According to this method, whenever a user performs the printing operation after changing one or more printing options of a printer, the help information corresponding to the changed printing options is presented through a monitor or a printer. Thus, the user can easily confirm which print options are used in a printed matter outputted through the image forming apparatus.
