Abstract
To make a set of set values of a plurality of print setting items added in a first execution environment usable in a second execution environment as well, an information processing apparatus comprises: a first printer driver configured to operate in a first execution environment, and add a set of set values of a plurality of print setting items to a list; and an application corresponding to a second printer driver configured to operate in a second execution environment, and obtain the set of the set values added by the first printer driver and display the set of the set values as a choice.
Claims16
to 17. (canceled)
An information processing apparatus including at least one processor and at least a memory coupled to the at least one processor and having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to function as:
- a first print setting unit, which is installed in the information processing apparatus, configured to receive set values of a plurality of print setting items on a first print setting screen and save a set of the set values;
- and
- a second print setting unit, which is installed in the information processing apparatus, configured to obtain the set of the set values saved by the first print setting unit, display, on a second print setting screen, a second list of names each corresponding to a respective set in a plurality of sets of set values including the obtained set of the set values, and reflect the set values of the set corresponding to a name selected from the second list in set values of a plurality of print setting items on the second print setting screen,
- wherein the first print setting unit or the second print setting unit is installed in the information processing apparatus in response to an installation of a printer driver.
An information processing method comprising:
- using at least one processor to perform:
- a first print setting step, in an information processing apparatus, of receiving set values of a plurality of print setting items on a first print setting screen and saving a set of the set values;
- and
- a second print setting step, in the information processing apparatus, of obtaining the set of the set values saved by the first print setting step, displaying, on a second print setting screen, a second list of names each corresponding to a respective set in a plurality of sets of set values including the obtained set of the set values, and reflecting the set values of the set corresponding to a name selected from the second list in set values of a plurality of print setting items on the second print setting screen,
- wherein a program for the first print setting step or a program for the second print setting step is installed in the information processing apparatus in response to an installation of a printer driver.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable programs for causing a computer to perform an information processing method comprising:
- a first print setting step, in an information processing apparatus, of receiving set values of a plurality of print setting items on a first print setting screen and saving a set of the set values;
- and
- a second print setting step, in the information processing apparatus, of obtaining the set of the set values saved by the first print setting step, displaying, on a second print setting screen, a second list of names each corresponding to a respective set in a plurality of sets of set values including the obtained set of the set values, and reflecting the set values of the set corresponding to a name selected from the second list in set values of a plurality of print setting items on the second print setting screen,
- wherein a program for the first print setting step or a program for the second print setting step is installed in the information processing apparatus in response to an installation of a printer driver.
