Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium storing program, and information processing method that evaluate contribution of paper reduction

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

• acquiring a history of information related to an electronic output of data and printer drivers associated therewith;
• deriving the number of sheets output by a physical printer and the number of sheets virtually output by a virtual printer using the acquired history;
• deriving a reduction ratio of the sheets indicating a ratio of the derived number of sheets virtually output by the virtual printer to a sum of the derived number of sheets output by the physical printer and the derived number of sheets virtually output by the virtual printer;
• and
• performing control to display information indicating the derived number of sheets virtually output by the virtual printer being less than the derived number of sheets output by the physical printer based on the reduction ratio.
