Printing control method
First Claim
1. A method of sending a print job to a printing apparatus in an information processing apparatus having a printer driver for generating the print job, the method comprising:
- a first generation step of generating a combined print job by combining a first print job and a second print job, the first print job including first page data and first banner print data for printing a document name of the first print job, the second print job including second page data different from the first page data and second banner print data for printing a document name of the second print job;
a second generation step of generating new banner print data for printing a new document name different from the first document name and the second document name, for the combined print job generated in the first generation step; and
a sending step of sending the new banner print data generated in the second generation step, the first page data and the second page data to the printing apparatus, as the combined print job, such that the new document name, without printing the document name of the first print job and the document name of the second print job, is printed on a sheet.

Abstract
When multiple print jobs that include banner printing are combined and prescribed manipulation settings are specified, data for banner printing is processed separately of the multiple items of print data and the multiple items of print data are combined into a single item of print data, and newly created data for banner printing and the print data that has been combined is output. As a result, it is possible to avoid problems that arise from the combining of jobs for which banner printing settings and settings for finishing processing or layout processing have been made concurrently, and a user can be provided with the optimum printout by adapting processing in accordance with circumstances.

4. An information processing apparatus for sending a print job to a printing apparatus, said information processing apparatus having a printer driver for generating the print job, comprising:
-
a first generation unit adapted to generate a combined print job by combining a first print job and a second print job, the first print job including first page data and first banner print data for printing a document name of the first print job, the second print job including second page data different from the first page data and second banner print data for printing a document name of the second print job; a second generation unit adapted to generate new banner print data for printing a new document name different from the first document name and the second document name, for the combined print job generated by said first generation unit; and a sending unit adapted to send the new banner print data generated by said second generation unit, the first page data and the second page data to the printing apparatus, as the combined print job, such that the new document name, without printing the document name of the first print job and the document name of the second print job, is printed on a sheet. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
