Abstract

A control method implemented in an information processing apparatus by at least one processor that executes print control software, the control method includes registering, in a print control software, a print queue in which first identification information is set, determining whether a device in which the first identification information is set is present on a network to which an information processing apparatus is connected, in a case where the print queue in which the first identification information is set is registered in the print control software, and changing identification information of the print queue registered in the print control software from the first identification information to second identification information different from the first identification information, in a case where a device in which the first identification information is set is determined to be present on the network.

A control method implemented in an information processing apparatus by at least one processor that executes first software, the control method comprising:

registering, in the first software, a print queue in which first identification information is set;
determining whether a device in which the first identification information is set is present on a network to which the information processing apparatus is connected, in a case where the print queue in which the first identification information is set is registered in the first software;
changing identification information of the print queue registered in the first software from the first identification information to second identification information different from the first identification information, in a case where the device in which the first identification information is set is determined to be present on the network;
executing processing of registering, in second software different from the first software, a print queue of a virtual printer in which the second identification information is set, in a case where a device in which the second identification information is set is determined to be absent on the network.

1 more element

An information processing apparatus comprising:

a first registration unit configured to register, in first software, a print queue in which first identification information is set;
a determination unit configured to determine whether a device in which the first identification information is set is present on a network to which the information processing apparatus is connected, in a case where the print queue in which the first identification information is set is registered in the first software;
a changing unit configured to change identification information of the print queue registered in the first software from the first identification information to second identification information different from the first identification information, in a case where the device in which the first identification information is set is determined to be present on the network;
and
an execution unit configured to execute processing of registering, in second software different from the first software, a print queue of a virtual printer in which the second identification information is set, in a case where a device in which the second identification information is set is determined to be absent on the network.
