Claims18
A method for setting configuration data of a printer for a printer driver in a server of an image printing system that includes a client, the printer and the server including the printer driver for the printer, the method comprising the step of:
- storing the configuration data obtained from the printer into the server;
- wherein a configuration data obtaining part in the server reads the stored configuration data according to a request from the printer driver, and sends the configuration data to the printer driver.
A server to be used in an image printing system that includes a client, a printer and the server including a printer driver for the printer, the server comprising:
- a part for storing configuration data obtained from the printer;
- and
- an configuration data obtaining part, wherein the configuration data obtaining part reads the stored configuration data according to a request from the printer driver, and sends the configuration data to the printer driver.
A program to run on a server to be used in an image printing system that includes a client, a printer and the server including a printer driver for the printer, the program comprising:
- configuration data obtaining program code means for reading configuration data of the printer according to a request from the printer driver, and sends the configuration data to the printer driver, wherein the configuration data is obtained from the printer and is stored in the server.
A computer readable medium storing a program to run on a server to be used in an image printing system that includes a client, a printer and the server including a printer driver for the printer, the program comprising:
- configuration data obtaining program code means for reading configuration data of the printer according to a request from the printer driver, and sends the configuration data to the printer driver, wherein the configuration data is obtained from the printer and is stored in the server.
