Abstract

Print control apparatus has a holding unit that hold plural pieces of received print information. If an error during a printing process for one of the plural pieces of print information is detected, it is determined whether the detected error is of a first type or a second type. The printing process of the plural pieces of print information is controlled such that the printing process of any of the plural pieces of print information is interrupted if the detected error is of the first type. If the detected error is of the second type, the printing process is interrupted for the one piece of print information but is continued for another of the plural pieces of print information.
