A control method for controlling an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a server system having a cloud print service, the control method comprising:
- receiving identification information of an image forming apparatus registered in the cloud print service;
- generating a print queue of the image forming apparatus corresponding to the received identification information;
- and
- acquiring a print setting application that is identified based on the received identification information of the image forming apparatus and provides a print setting screen for setting a print setting transmitted to the server system, wherein
- upon receiving an instruction for opening the print setting screen with the generated print queue selected, the print setting screen is provided by the print setting application.
An information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a server system having a cloud print service, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive identification information of an image forming apparatus registered in the cloud print service;
- a generating unit configured to generate a print queue of the image forming apparatus corresponding to the received identification information;
- and
- an acquiring unit configured to acquire a print setting application that is identified based on the received identification information of the image forming apparatus and provides a print setting screen for setting a print setting transmitted to the server system, wherein
- upon receiving an instruction for opening the print setting screen with the generated print queue selected, the print setting screen is provided by the print setting application.
An application to be run on an information processing apparatus configured to receive identification information of an image forming apparatus registered in a cloud print service of a server system, generate a print queue of the image forming apparatus corresponding to the received identification information, and acquire an application that is identified based on the received identification information of the image forming apparatus,
- the application being an application for causing the information processing apparatus to execute a step of displaying a print setting screen, the print setting screen being displayed upon receiving an instruction for opening the print setting screen with the generated print queue selected, wherein
- a print setting set by means of the print setting screen is transmitted to the server system.
