Printer driver, information processing apparatus, and computer-readable recording medium recording therein printer driver having multiple decompression units

An information processing apparatus installed with a printer driver, wherein the printer driver comprises:

• an assigning unit that assigns a setting value based on storage location information specifying a storage location for each setting value;
• a compressing unit that
• converts each of the setting values thus assigned to have a format identifying each storage location, and
• generates compressed data therefrom;
• a storage unit that stores each piece of the compressed data compressed by the compressing unit in a storage location specified by the storage location information;
• a first decompressing unit and a second decompressing unit that decompress the compressed data stored in the storage location;
• a setting window displaying unit that controls a display of a print setting window using each of the setting values obtained by decompression performed by the first decompressing unit;
• and
• a print data generating unit that generates print data interpretable by a printer using each of the setting values obtained by decompression performed by the second decompressing unit.
