1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a printer;
a memory device storing one or more programs; and
a processing device configured by the one or more programs stored by the memory device at least to:
cause the printer to print image data included in a print job, wherein the image data is stored on a network;
record a print result as a job history; and
execute an application based on occurrence of a start factor, the processing device configured by the application at least to:
specify the image data on the network using path information;
obtain the image data via the network to input the print job into the image forming apparatus in a case where there exists the image data specified by the path information;
input an error recording job, which indicates that the print job has not been input, into the image forming apparatus in a case where an error, which indicates that there exists no image data specified by the path information, occurs before the print job is input into the image forming apparatus and occurs in execution of the application; and
display, without inputting the error recording job into the image forming apparatus, an error screen that indicates a cause of an error in a case where an error occurs after the print job is input into the image forming apparatus and occurs in execution of the application.
