1. A system adapted to enable a user interface to change an adjustable parameter about processing by a printing system, the printing system being adapted to perform print processing for a job that print data are stored in a storage unit, the system comprising:
- a first controller adapted to permit a change of the adjustable parameter by the user interface in a case where print data of a certain job having a certain attribute does not exist in the storage unit, the print processing of the print data of the certain job being performed in response to an instruction which is inputted by an indicator after storing the print data in the storage unit; and
a second controller adapted to inhibit change of adjustable parameters by the user interface in a case where the print data of the certain job exists in the storage unit.

Abstract
This invention suppresses accidental change of an adjustable parameter that influences a print job. For this purpose, when the print data of a certain job exists in a storage unit, change of the adjustable parameter by a user interface is inhibited.

7. A program product stored in a computer-usable storage medium, the program product including a program code for causing a computer system to perform a method for enabling a user interface to change an adjustable parameter about processing by a printing system, the printing system being adapted to perform print processing for a job for which print data are stored in a storage unit, the method comprising:
-
permitting a change of the adjustable parameter by the user interface in a case where print data of a certain job having a certain attribute does not exist in the storage unit, the print processing of the print data of the certain job being performed in response to an instruction which is input by an indicator after storing the print data in the storage unit; and inhibiting the change of the adjustable parameter by the user interface in a case where the print data of the certain job exists in the storage unit.

8. A system configured to control a user interface configured to change an adjustable parameter about processing by a printing system, the printing system being configured to perform print processing for a job that print data are stored in a storage unit, the system comprising:
-
a determining unit configured to determine if print data of the certain job exists in the storage unit, a print processing of the print data being performed in response to an instruction which is inputted by an indicator after storing the print data in the storage unit; and a control unit configured to control the user interface not to change the adjustable parameters if it is determined that the print data of the certain job exits in the storage unit.
