Abstract: In some implementations, a device may identify, for a printing operation, a media type associated with media involved in the printing operation. The device may receive, from a sensor, a sensor measurement associated with an ambient condition of the printer. The device may determine, using a print optimization model, a printing configuration for the printing operation based on the media type and the ambient condition, wherein the print optimization model is trained based on reference data associated with historical printing operations associated with one or more printers, wherein the reference data includes reference configurations associated with the historical printing operations, respective media types of media used in the historical printing operations, and corresponding ambient conditions of the one or more printers during the historical printing operations. The device may cause the printer to perform the printing operation according to the printing configuration.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions. The instructions instruct a computer to perform processes including an acquisition step, a determination step, and a display step. The acquisition step includes acquiring a specified color. The determination step includes determining whether a device-independent color based on the specified color is present within a first color gamut based on first print settings of a printer. The display step includes displaying, when it is determined that the device-independent color is not present within the first color gamut, second print settings of the printer. The second print settings are different from the first print settings and cause a distance between the device-independent color and a second color gamut that is based on the second print settings to be smaller than a distance between the device-independent color and the first color gamut.

Abstract: To search for a device from an information processing apparatus in Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3), it is necessary to set information such as authentication information. However, there is such an issue that, in a case where settings of such information are inadequate, if a desired multi-function printer (MFP) is a device with settings for responding only to SNMPv3, the desired MFP cannot be found even if a search is performed. Therefore, a user is notified that SNMPv3 settings are necessary.
