Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes an information processing apparatus that has a printer driver and is capable of generating image data to be transmitted according to a specific protocol. The apparatus includes a selection unit that can choose printer information for a single printer from a collection of printer information for multiple printers. It also has a notification unit that can inform an application associated with the selected printer information. The apparatus further includes an acquisition unit that can obtain first capability information, defined by the predetermined protocol, and second capability information, not defined by the predetermined protocol, from a cloud print service. Finally, the apparatus has a display unit that can show an object for adjusting print settings based on the acquired second capability information.
Original Abstract Submitted
