ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling whether or not to display the status monitor of a device. When a certain application program outputs a printing command and the status monitor of the printer is set to be displayed, data indicative of the application program is first obtained and compared with a list of problem application programs. If the name is not in the list, then the printing status monitor is displayed. However, if the name is found in the list, the status monitor is not displayed. This method increases efficiency of work for the user and prevents such problems as the computer hanging up or the programs being forcibly closed.
