Information processing method, information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer of an information processing apparatus communicable with a plurality of devices to operate to:

• select any one of the plurality of devices as a device to be used to perform a predetermined process;
• detect a device in communication with the information processing apparatus;
• install, based on that the device to be used to perform a predetermined process is changed from a first device among the plurality of devices to a second device among the plurality of devices by the selecting, a second device driver corresponding to the second device to the information processing apparatus;
• and
• set, to the second device driver installed by the installing, at least a part of setting data for performing the predetermined process set to a first device driver corresponding to the first device,
• wherein in the operation to select, if the second device is detected in the operation to detect in a state in which the first device is selected, the second device is selected.

An information processing method of an information processing apparatus communicable with a plurality of devices, the method comprising:

• selecting any one of the plurality of devices as a device to be used to perform a predetermined process;
• installing to the information processing apparatus, based on that the device to be used to perform a predetermined process is changed from a first device among the plurality of devices to a second device among the plurality of devices by the selecting, a second device driver corresponding to the second device;
• and
• setting, to the second device driver installed by the installing, at least a part of setting data for performing the predetermined process set to a first device driver corresponding to the first device,
• wherein in the setting, when a state in which the first device is connected to the information processing apparatus and selected in the selecting and the second device is not connected to the information processing apparatus is switched to a state in which the second device is connected to the information processing apparatus and selected in the selecting and the first device is not connected to the information processing apparatus, at least a part of the setting data set to the first device driver is set to the second device driver.
