The present invention provides an image processing device which aims for
appropriate settings and simplification of printing functions. In a print
server, when a print job is received, an application name used in a
client terminal is specified from a drawing command of the print job, and
standard settings of printing functions provided for each application are
read from database files. Thereafter, the standard settings and settings
of printing functions of the print job are compared. When the settings
are different, after carrying out a warning processing, setting of
printing functions based on the standard settings is carried out, and
image processing and printing processing based on the set printing
functions are executed. In this way, while simplifying settings of
printing functions in the client terminal, image processing and printing
processing by appropriate printing functions are possible.
