Abstract

A print job icon symbolically representing a print job and printer icons symbolically representing a plurality of printers are displayed on the screen of a display in an information processing apparatus. When a command to transfer the print job icon is issued, whether a requested print job can be transferred to any printer is easily determined. When the print job is selected, the information processing apparatus easily discriminates between a printer able to output the print job and a printer unable to output the print job.
