Information processing apparatus capable of using information on cut line which is printing item that cannot be set by printer driver and is printed on recording medium, printing setting application, control method for information processing apparatus, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• computer-executable instructions stored in the one or more memories, the computer-executable instructions including:
• a printer driver;
• and
• a printing setting application;
• and
• a processor configured to cooperatively execute the computer-executable instructions including the printing setting application and the printer driver to cause the information processing apparatus to:
• acquire capability information on capability to perform printing on a sheet-like recording medium from a server providing a cloud print service or from a printer, the acquired capability information including (i) first information on printing items capable of being set by the printer driver, and (ii) second information on printing of a cut line indicating where the sheet-like recording medium is to be cut after printing, the printing of the cut line being a printing item that is capable of being set by the printing setting application, that is not capable of being set by the printer driver, and that causes the cut line to be printed on the sheet-like recording medium;
• receive an instruction to cause the printer to perform printing on the sheet-like recording medium;
• generate, using the printing setting application, first printing data based, at least in part, on the printing of the cut line indicating where the sheet-like recording medium is to be cut after printing, the printing of the cut line being the printing item that is capable of being set by the printing setting application, that is not capable of being set by the printer driver, and that causes the cut line to be printed on the sheet-like recording medium;
• generate, using the printer driver, second printing data based on both (iii) the printing items set by the printer driver and (iv) the first printing data generated based, at least in part, on the printing of the cut line, which is the printing item that is capable of being set by the printing setting application and is not capable of being set by the printer driver;
• and
• transmit the generated second printing data to thereby cause the printer to perform the printing on the sheet-like recording medium based on the generated second printing data.

A control method for an information processing apparatus including a printer driver and a printing setting application, the control method comprising:

• acquiring capability information on capability to perform printing on a sheet-like recording medium from a server providing a cloud print service or from a printer, the acquired capability information including (i) first information on printing items capable of being set by the printer driver, and (ii) second information on printing of a cut line indicating where the sheet-like recording medium is to be cut after printing, the printing of the cut line being a printing item that is capable of being set by the printing setting application, that is not capable of being set by the printer driver, and that causes the cut line to be printed on the sheet-like recording medium;
• receiving an instruction to cause the printer to perform printing on the sheet-like recording medium;
• generating, by the printing setting application, first printing data based, at least in part, on the printing of the cut line indicating where the sheet-like recording medium is to be cut after printing, the printing of the cut line being the printing item that is capable of being set by the printing setting application, that is not capable of being set by the printer driver, and that causes the cut line to be printed on the sheet-like recording medium;
• generating, by the printer driver, second printing data based on both (iii) the printing items set by the printer driver and (iv) the first printing data generated based, at least in part, on the printing of the cut line, which is the printing item that is capable of being set by the printing setting application and is not capable of being set by the printer driver;
• and
• transmitting the generated second printing data to thereby cause the printer to perform the printing on the sheet-like recording medium based on the generated second printing data.
