Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing system including an information processing apparatus including a first print medium database storing one or more first print medium data items indicating one or more attributes of a print medium, and a printing device including a second print medium database storing one or more second print medium data items, the information processing system comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• determine whether the first print medium database and the second print medium database are synchronized with each other,
• determine whether the one or more second print medium data items stored in the second print medium database are supported in the information processing apparatus, when the first print medium database and the second print medium database are determined as not being synchronized with each other, and
• delete the one or more first print medium data items stored in the first print medium database, and subsequently store, in the first print medium database, at least one of the second print medium data items that is determined as being supported in the information processing apparatus among the one or more second print medium data items stored in the second print medium database.

An information processing method executed by a computer in an information processing system including an information processing apparatus including a first print medium database storing one or more first print medium data items indicating one or more attributes of a print medium, and a printing device including a second print medium database storing one or more second print medium data items, the information processing method comprising:

• determining whether the first print medium database and the second print medium database are synchronized with each other;
• determining whether the one or more second print medium data items stored in the second print medium database are supported in the information processing apparatus, when the first print medium database and the second print medium database are determined as not being synchronized with each other;
• and
• deleting the one or more first print medium data items stored in the first print medium database, and subsequently storing, in the first print medium database, at least one of the second print medium data items that is determined as being supported in the information processing apparatus among the one or more second print medium data items stored in the second print medium database.
