BACKGROUND

Field of the Disclosure

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and a method for controlling the same.

Description of the Related Art

A printing apparatus is known that executes an initial setting process in response to a user turning on the printing apparatus for the first time after the printing apparatus is unpacked. An initial setting process may also be executed following a ‘factory reset’ or another process which reverts the printing apparatus to a configuration as if it is to be used for a first time. Also, an information processing apparatus is known that notifies the user of an error occurring in the printing apparatus.

Japanese Patent No. 3880243 describes an information processing apparatus that notifies a user of an error that has occurred in a printing apparatus during a time in which the printing apparatus executes an initial setting process.

With the increasing prevalence of information processing apparatuses that notify users of errors occurring in printing apparatuses, there has been an increasing demand for more appropriate notification methods for notifying users of errors occurring in printing apparatuses.

SUMMARY

Accordingly, the present disclosure provides appropriate notification of an error occurring in a printing apparatus.

An aspect of some embodiments provides a method for controlling an information processing apparatus configured to communicate with a printing apparatus and having a predetermined program. The method includes obtaining error information, the error information being information concerning an error occurring in the printing apparatus; executing a notification process for notifying a user of the error occurring in the printing apparatus on the basis of the error information, if an error is occurring in the printing apparatus under non-completion of an initial setting process for the printing apparatus when the predetermined program is operating on the information processing apparatus; and not executing the notification process if an error is occurring in the printing apparatus under completion of the initial setting process for the printing apparatus when the predetermined program is operating on the information processing apparatus.

Further features of various embodiments will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
