1. A print control apparatus comprising:
a processor including
a selection unit configured to receive selection of one printer from selectable printers;
a print control unit configured to transmit print data to the selected printer and cause the selected printer to print; and
a warning unit, wherein
in a case where a near printer located in the same area as the print control apparatus and a distant printer located in an area different from the print control apparatus co-exist as the selectable printers,
when a user selects the distant printer to print, the warning unit issues, to the user, warning on erroneous printer selection which includes warning contents indicating difference in position information between the selected distant printer and the print control apparatus, the warning unit issues the warning before causing the print control unit to print,
when the user selects the near printer to print, the warning unit causes the print control unit to print without issuing the warning to the user, and
in a case where all of the selectable printers are the near printers and in a case where only one distant printer is selectable as the selectable printer, the warning unit causes the print control unit to print without issuing the warning to the user.
