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.

An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a driver configured to generate, based on first information provided by a first print setting software, first print data to be provided to a printer, and configured to generate, based on second information provided by a second print setting software, second print data to be provided to the printer;
- the first print setting software configured to cause a display to display a first print setting screen that includes values set to print setting items, wherein the first print setting screen enables a user to input an identifier to be associated with the values;
- and
- the second print setting software configured to cause the display to display the input identifier, and set the values to the print setting items on the second print setting screen if the input identifier is selected by the user on the second print setting screen,
- wherein the first print setting software is an application, which is different from the driver and different from the second print setting software.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a driver configured to generate, based on first information provided by a first print setting software, first print data to be provided to a printer, and configured to generate, based on second information provided by a second print setting software, second print data to be provided to the printer;
- the first print setting software configured to cause a display to display a first print setting screen that includes values set to print setting items, wherein the first print setting screen enables a user to input a identifier to be associated with the values;
- and
- the second print setting software configured to cause the display to display the input identifier, and set the values to the print setting items on the second print setting screen if the input identifier is selected by the user on the second print setting screen;
- wherein the second print setting software is an application, which is different from the driver and different from the first print setting software.
A method executed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- generating, by a driver, based on first information provided by a first print setting software, first print data to be provided to a printer, and generating, by the driver, based on second information provided by a second print setting software, second print data to be provided to the printer;
- the first print setting software causing a display to display a first print setting screen that includes values set to print setting items, wherein the first print setting screen enables a user to input an identifier to be associated with the values;
- and
- the second print setting software causing the display to display the input identifier, and set the values to the print setting items on the second print setting screen if the input identifier is selected by the user on the second print setting screen,
- wherein the first print setting software is an application, which is different from the driver and different from the second print setting software.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program for causing a computer to perform an information processing method, the program comprising code to execute:
- generating, by a driver, based on first information provided by a first print setting software, first print data to be provided to a printer, and generating, by the driver, based on second information provided by a second print setting software, second print data to be provided to the printer;
- the first print setting software causing a display to display a first print setting screen that includes values set to print setting items, wherein the first print setting screen enables a user to input an identifier to be associated with the values;
- and
- the second print setting software causing the display to display the input identifier, and set the values to the print setting items on the second print setting screen if the input identifier is selected by the user on the second print setting screen,
- wherein the first print setting software is an application, which is different from the driver and different from the second print setting software.
