The objective of the present invention is a reduction of the communications exchanged
by a WWW server and a client computer in order to reduce communication costs and
to improve the responses by a user interface. For this, a printing control apparatus
comprises means for obtaining print setup information from a WWW server and storing
it, and for transmitting print request information to the WWW server via a network.
But before that means is used to communicate with the WWW server, the print request
information is generated based on the obtained print setup information.
