Abstract
An information processing apparatus manages information about a printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in a predetermined format and executes operating system (OS) normal printing software that generates print data in the predetermined format. In a case where capability information about the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format is requested from the OS normal printing software, the information processing apparatus generates the capability information based on language information held by a control unit and language information held by a generation unit, and transmits the generated capability information to the OS normal printing software.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus that manages information about a printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in a predetermined format and that executes operating system (OS) normal printing software that generates print data in the predetermined format, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a control unit configured to receive first print data via the OS normal printing software in a case where the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format is selected and an instruction for printing execution is issued;
- a generation unit configured to generate second print data interpretable by the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format based on the first print data;
- and
- a transmission unit configured to transmit the second print data to the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format,
- wherein, in a case where capability information about the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format is requested from the OS normal printing software, the control unit generates the capability information based on language information held by the control unit and language information held by the generation unit, and transmits the generated capability information to the OS normal printing software.
A control method for an information processing apparatus that manages information about a printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in a predetermined format and executes operating system (OS) normal printing software that generates print data in the predetermined format, control software that receives first print data via the OS normal printing software in a case where the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format is selected and an instruction for printing execution is issued, and generation software that generates second print data interpretable by the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format based on the first print data, the control method comprising:
- transmitting the second print data to the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format,
- wherein, in a case where capability information about the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format is requested from the OS normal printing software, the capability information is generated based on language information held by the control software and language information held by the generation software.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method, the computer managing information about a printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in a predetermined format and executing operating system (OS) normal printing software that generates print data in the predetermined format, control software that receives first print data via the OS normal printing software in a case where the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format is selected and an instruction for printing execution is issued, and generation software that generates second print data interpretable by the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format based on the first print data, the control method comprising:
- transmitting the second print data to the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format,
- wherein, in a case where capability information about the printing apparatus incapable of interpreting print data in the predetermined format is requested from the OS normal printing software, the capability information is generated based on language information held by the control software and language information held by the generation software.
