Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first generation unit that generates process information related to a process required of an image processing apparatus based on function description information indicating plural setting items related to a function of the image processing apparatus and a first prohibition at the plural setting items, and additional function information indicating information for requiring of the image processing apparatus a function different from a function of the plural setting items; a second generation unit that generates extended print setting information based on extended function description information indicating a second prohibition different from the first prohibition and the process information, the extended print setting information being for performing a display reflecting the second prohibition; and a display control unit that displays an image for receiving a setting related to a print process required of the image processing apparatus, based on the extended print

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a spooler, a request reception unit configured to receive a request related to print data from the spooler via a function interface, and at least one process execution unit configured to perform a process corresponding to the received request. The request reception unit is configured to cause the process execution unit to perform the process corresponding to the received request.

Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium has a program recorded therein. The program includes a pre-certified file to be authenticated, an authentication information file, and a default configuration file. The program is subjected to authentication based on the comparison of authentication information generated from the file to be authenticated and the authentication information of the authentication information file when the program is installed in an information processor.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of managing print settings data, and a recording medium storing a program for managing print settings data are provided. The print settings data is managed by printer driver, logical printer, group of users, or user, using a directory structure under a file system of an operating system.

Abstract: An information processor includes a display part displaying a configuration pattern combining values set for corresponding two or more of printing conditions; a management part managing default values for the printing conditions for an image forming apparatus; a recording part recording the configuration pattern and optionally setting an identifier as a value for the individual printing conditions, the identifier being indicative of the individual default values; and a setting part, in response to the identifier being set for at least one of the two or more of the printing conditions in the recorded configuration pattern, obtaining one of the default values corresponding to the at least one of the two or more of the printing conditions from the management part and setting the obtained one of the default values for the at least one of the two or more of the printing conditions in the configuration pattern.

Abstract: A display part receives an input from a user and display a message to the user, a constraint processing part processes constraints among functions of a printer based on the input which the display part has received, and generates constraint information, and a message generating part manages a plurality of terms in a form of a term list, and combines terms of the plurality of terms to generate the message to be displayed by the display part based on the constraint information generated by the constraint processing part.

Abstract: A printer driver includes: a receiving unit that receives an event for requesting a printer to perform a process; a command generating unit that generates, when the receiving unit has received the event, a command for causing the printer to execute the event based on a script in which a process for generating the command is written; and an outputting unit that performs control to output the command generated by the command generating unit to the printer.
