ABSTRACT:
A print control system, method, and computer-program product with a print dialogue box and a printing information dialogue box. In response to a print request, the print dialogue box displays current print settings, enables modification to the print settings, and confirms the print job. Upon a confirmation of the print job, the printing information dialogue box displays automatically a synopsis of the print settings for the impending print job. The automatically displayed printing information dialogue box allows the user to confirm that the print settings are indeed the print settings desired for the particular print job prior to issuance of the print job to the printer. The printing information dialogue box permits cancellation, modification, or continuation of the print job. Once the print job has been completed, a print job dialogue box indicates that the print job is complete. The printing process thus involves entering a print request for a print job, displaying the print dialogue box in response to the print request, displaying, upon receipt of the print job confirmation and prior to issuance of the print job, the printing information dialogue box, and directing the print job by cancellation of the print job, modification of the print job, or submission of the print job to the printer. By displaying the current print settings to the user, the user can confirm that the settings are correct and issue the print job, can interrupt the print job to change the print settings, or cancel the print job. The printing process can be included on a computer program product which stores the necessary data to implement the printing process on a general purpose computer or a network of general purpose computers.
