Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a determination unit for determining if a warning corresponding to print data is present, an input unit for inputting information, and an output unit for, when the determination unit determines that the warning corresponding to the print data is present, outputting a different message on the basis of environment information input by the input unit.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a determination unit for determining if a warning corresponding to print data is present;

an input unit for inputting information; and

an output unit for, when said determination unit determines that the warning corresponding to the print data is present, outputting a different message on the basis of environment information input by said input unit.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information includes user information.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information includes creation environment information.

4. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the information includes output environment information.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the message includes a solution.

6. An information processing method comprising:

a determination step of determining if a warning corresponding to print data is present;

an input step of inputting information; and

an output step of outputting, when it is determined in the determination step that the warning corresponding to the print data is present, a different message on the basis of environment information input in the input step.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the information includes user information.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the information includes creation environment information.

9. The method according to claim 6, wherein the information includes output environment information.

10. The method according to claim 6, wherein the message includes a solution.

11. A program product comprising:

a determination step of determining if a warning corresponding to print data is present;

an input step of inputting information; and

an output step of outputting, when it is determined in the determination step that the warning corresponding to the print data is present, a different message on the basis of environment information input in the input step.

12. The program product according to claim 11, wherein the information includes user information.

13. The program product according to claim 11, wherein the information includes creation environment information.

14. The program product according to claim 11, wherein the information includes output environment information.

15. The program product according to claim 11, wherein the message includes a solution.
