Abstract
The present invention provides an information processing apparatus, which is configured to customize a device driver that is adapted to control a printer, by setting a property. The information processing apparatus includes a specifying unit adapted to specify a plurality of device drivers, and a setting unit adapted to set, in response to one device-driver customization instruction, property information, which corresponds to a device driver, in the plurality of device drivers specified by the specifying unit.
Claims26
An information processing apparatus, which is configured to customize a device driver that is adapted to control a device by setting a property thereof, comprising:
- a specifying unit adapted to specify a plurality of device drivers;
- and
- a setting unit adapted to set, in response to one device-driver customization completion instruction inputted after a customization operation is performed on each of a plurality of device drivers specified by said specifying unit, property information, which corresponds to a device driver, in the plurality of device drivers specified by the specifying unit.
A method configured to customize a device driver for controlling a device, by setting a property thereof, comprising:
- a specifying step of specifying a plurality of device drivers;
- and
- a setting step of setting, in response to one device-driver customization completion instruction inputted after a customization operation is performed on each of a plurality of device drivers specified by said specifying unit, property information, which corresponds to a device driver, in the plurality of device drivers specified in the specifying step.
An information processing apparatus, configured to create an installation set including driver information used to install a plurality of device drivers, comprising:
- a specifying unit adapted to specify a plurality of device drivers to be customized;
- a setting unit adapted to set property information by customizing print setting data for each of the plurality of device drivers specified by said specifying unit;
- and
- a producing unit adapted to produce an installation set including the plurality of device drivers each having the property information set by said setting unit.
An information processing method, configured to create an installation set including driver information used to install a plurality of device drivers, comprising:
- a specifying step of specifying a plurality of device drivers to be customized;
- a setting step of setting property information by customizing print setting data for each of the plurality of device drivers specified in said specifying step;
- and
- a producing step of producing an installation set including the plurality of device drivers each having the property information set by said setting unit.
A control program configured to cause a computer to perform an information processing method of creating an installation set including driver information used to install a plurality of device drivers, said information processing method, comprising:
- a specifying step of specifying a plurality of device drivers to be customized;
- a setting step of setting property information by customizing print setting data for each of the plurality of device drivers specified in said specifying step;
- and
- a producing step of producing an installation set including the plurality of device drivers each having the property information set by said setting unit.
