ABSTRACT:
This invention controls a printer to download using either a nonsecure protocol or a secure protocol depending on as to whether or not the printer is included in a network segment to which an information processing apparatus generating print control information belongs. When, on an application executed by the apparatus, a desired data file stored in a server on the network is designated as an object to be printed, the apparatus acquires a printer port activated by a printer driver. The apparatus determines whether or not a destination IP address set to the printer port is included in the network segment inside an office. If the IP address is included in the network segment, HTTP is set as a protocol associated with file acquisition which is to be described in a job ticket. If not, HTTPS is set as a protocol associated with file acquisition.
