Abstract

See full text

An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit, an installation unit, a processing unit, and a transmission unit. The storage unit stores data to be printed in an intermediate format independent of a specific model of a printing apparatus. The installation unit installs a printer driver corresponding to a printing apparatus in response to a request from the printing apparatus. The processing unit causes the printer driver installed by the installation unit to generate, from the intermediate-format data, data capable of recognizing output settings used for actual printing apparatus printing and outputs the generated data to a storage area inside the information processing apparatus. The transmission unit acquires information about the output settings from the data output by the processing unit and transmits the information about the output settings to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus displays the information about the output settings of the data to be printed.
