Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a hardware processor that: adjusts positions of pixels in image data when an ink ejection failure occurs in a nozzle that forms an image by ejecting ink, so as to reduce an influence of the ink ejection failure when forming an image based on the image data; and adds pixels to an area in the image data where pixels have disappeared due to the adjustment of the hardware processor.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a detecting unit configured to detect an additional function data file including a description of an added function that is provided in addition to an already-installed device driver, a storing unit configured to store the detected additional function data file in an information storage area recognized as a logical device by an operating system, and a driver control unit configured to incorporate contents of the additional function data file into the already-installed device driver in response to the additional function data file stored in the information storage area.

Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium is disclosed on which a program is recorded for causing a computer to execute a method for outputting printing data from a printer driver to an output destination. The method includes displaying, while the printer driver is inactive, a change screen for changing the output destination from a first output destination preset in a communication control part by a display part of an output destination changing part; transmitting a change notification including identification information indicating a second output destination input through the change screen to the communication control part by a notification part of the output destination changing part; and changing the output destination from the preset first output destination to the second output destination by the communication control part in response to receiving the change notification.

Abstract: A device driver is disclosed which is used in a computer connected to a device. The computer includes an input unit, a display unit, a storage unit and a processing unit. The storage unit stores a setup information file including an attribute value of a function of the device and a special setup flag. The device driver directs the processing unit to perform the steps of displaying the special setup screen on the display unit when the special setup flag is stored in the storage unit, receiving and storing the attribute value specified by the input unit in the setup information file, reading the attribute value by referring to the setup information file and displaying the default setting screen in response to the attribute value, and changing the special setup flag to prevent the special setup of the device driver.
