Abstract
A control method for an information processing apparatus which comprises a memory that stores a graphical user interface (GUI) application capable of providing a GUI in a case where a driver that does not have a function of providing a GUI is selected, the control method includes causing the GUI application to acquire drawing data generated by a drawing application, acquiring, by the GUI application, at least either of data including information indicating a setting and data including information indicating a capability of the driver, and providing, the GUI application, a first display item.
Claims26
A control method to be executed by executing an application program by a computer of an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- cooperating with a class driver that can be used for printing apparatuses of a plurality of printer vendors;
- and
- causing a display of the information processing apparatus to display an image based on data which is generated by a data generating application program, the class driver receiving the data from the data generating application program and processing the data,
- wherein the class driver does not have a function for displaying, on the display of the information processing apparatus, an image based on the data which is generated by the data generating application program.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing an application program, a control method being executed by executing the application program by a computer of an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- cooperating with a class driver that can be used for printing apparatuses of a plurality of printer vendors;
- and
- causing a display of the information processing apparatus to display an image based on data which is generated by a data generating application program, the class driver receiving the data from the data generating application program and processing the data,
- wherein the class driver does not have a function for displaying, on the display of the information processing apparatus, an image based on the data which is generated by the data generating application program.
An information processing apparatus comprising an application program, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a display controller that causes, by execution of the application program cooperating with a class driver that can be used for printing apparatuses provided by a plurality of printer vendors;
- a display to display an image based on data which is generated by a data generating application program, the class driver receiving the data from the data generating application program and processing the data,
- wherein the class driver does not have a function for displaying, on the display of the information processing apparatus, an image based on the data which is generated by the data generating application program.
