Abstract
An information processing method for an information processing apparatus including an application configured to extend a function provided by a print data generation software for generating print data to be printed by a plurality of printing devices includes obtaining information about a printing device connected to the information processing apparatus, and causing a display to display, in a case where the obtained information indicates a certain type printing device, information based on a type of the certain type printing device.
Claims15
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an application program for causing a computer of an information processing apparatus to cause the information processing apparatus to execute a method, the method comprising:
- cooperating with print data generation software for generating print data to be printed by a plurality of printing devices of a plurality of vendors;
- receiving first information about a printing device which is able to communicate with the information processing apparatus;
- receiving second information indicating a remaining ink amount of the printing device;
- and
- causing a display to display, in a case where the received first information indicates a first type of an inkjet printing device, the remaining ink amount indicated by the received second information without causing the display to display the remaining ink amount in a case where the received first information indicates a second type of the inkjet printing device.
A method which is executed by executing an application program by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- cooperating with print data generation software for generating print data to be printed by a plurality of printing devices of a plurality of vendors;
- receiving first information about a printing device which is able to communicate with the information processing apparatus;
- receiving second information indicating a remaining ink amount of the printing device;
- and
- displaying, in a case where the received first information indicates a first type of an inkjet printing device, the remaining ink amount indicated by the received second information without causing a display to display the remaining ink amount in a case where the received first information indicates a second type of the inkjet printing device.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more memories that store application program cooperating with print data generation software for generating print data to be printed by a plurality of printing devices of a plurality of vendors;
- and
- a processor that causes, by executing the application program stored in the one or more memories, the information processing apparatus to function as:
- a first receiving unit that receives first information about a printing device which is able to communicate with the information processing apparatus;
- a second receiving unit that receives second information indicating a remaining ink amount of the printing device;
- and
- a control unit that causes a display to display, in a case where the received first information indicates a first type of an inkjet printing device, the remaining ink amount indicated by the received second information without causing the display to display the remaining ink amount in a case where the received first information indicates a second type of the inkjet printing device.
