Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and recording medium storing program

An information processing method used for an information processing apparatus that can be connected to an image-forming apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:

• controlling print-setting information set for document data to be printed;
• recognizing information about a first function specified by the print-setting information by translating the controlled print-setting information and;
• obtaining information about a second function of the image-forming apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus;
• determining whether or not the image-forming apparatus can perform the recognized first function based on the information about the obtained second function;
• and
• modifying the controlled print-setting information based on the determined result.

A recording medium storing a control program executed by an information processing apparatus that can be connected to an image-forming apparatus, the control program comprising the steps of:

• controlling print-setting information set for document data to be printed;
• recognizing information about a first function specified by the print-setting information by translating the controlled print-setting information and;
• obtaining information about a second function of the image-forming apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus;
• determining whether or not the image-forming apparatus can perform the recognized first function based on the information about the obtained second function;
• and
• modifying the controlled print-setting information based on the determined result.

An information processing apparatus that can be connected to an image-forming apparatus, comprising:

• control device for controlling print-setting information set for document data to be printed;
• recognition device for recognizing information about a first function specified by the print-setting information by translating the print-setting information controlled by the control device and;
• obtaining device for obtaining information about a second function of the image-forming apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus;
• determination device for determining whether or not the image-forming apparatus can perform the first function recognized by the recognition device based on the information about the second function obtained by the obtaining device;
• and
• modification means for modifying the print-setting information controlled by the control device based on the result of the determination performed by the determination device.
