Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and recording medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a print instruction, the print instruction instructing the information processing apparatus to print data via a first print condition including a specified printer apparatus to utilize to print the data;
• a processor configured to,
• calculate index values indicating one or more of costs and environmental burdens associated with printing the data based on a plurality of print conditions including at least the first print condition and a second print condition differing from the first print condition included in the print instruction, and
• generate a screen displaying the index values and icons for executing printing based on respective ones of the plurality of print conditions;
• and
• a display controller configured to display the screen, and to receive an input, via selection of a corresponding one of the icons, the input indicating which of the plurality of print conditions utilize when printing the print data.

An information processing method comprising:

• receiving a print instruction, the print instruction instructing an information processing apparatus to print data via a first print condition including a specified printer apparatus to utilize to print the data;
• calculating index values indicating costs or environmental burdens when the data is printed based on a plurality of print conditions including at least the first print condition and a second print condition differing from the first print condition included in the print instruction;
• generating and displaying a screen displaying the index values and icons for executing printing based on respective ones of the plurality of print conditions;
• and
• receiving an input, via selection of a corresponding one of the icons, the input indicating which of the plurality of print conditions utilize when printing the print data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to,

• receive a print instruction, the print instruction instructing an information processing apparatus to print data via a first print condition including a specified printer apparatus to utilize to print the data,
• calculate index values indicating costs or environmental burdens when the data is printed based on a plurality of print conditions including at least the first print condition and a second print condition differing from the first print condition included in the print instruction,
• generate and display a screen displaying the index values and icons for executing printing based on respective ones of the plurality of print conditions, and
• receive an input, via selection of a corresponding one of the icons, the input indicating which of the plurality of print conditions utilize when printing the print data.
