When a user sets, from a user interface window using a bookbinding application,
instructions of dividing a document into a plurality of parts and stapling each
part of the document, a printer driver generates one job in which the staple attribute
of a binder corresponding to each part is set to "ON" or "OFF", and issues the
job for a printer. With this operation, the user can perform staple designation
to an arbitrary part of the document, and can realize a plurality of staple processes
in one print job.
