Publication number: 20190095145Abstract: A printer driver is implemented with a drawing function for each of the driver-executable drawing processes. The drawing function includes a first drawing function corresponding to a first drawing process. The printer driver causes the controller to receive an execution instruction of the driver-executable drawing process from the operating system together with setting information of the driver-executable drawing process. The first drawing function causes the controller to execute the first drawing process when the execution instruction to instruct execution of the first drawing process is received and a value of the setting information as received is a first value, while transmit a non-execution information indicating that the first drawing process is not executed to the operating system without executing the first drawing process when the execution instruction to instruct execution of the first drawing process is received and the value of the received setting information is not the first value.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2018Publication date: March 28, 2019Inventor: Kazutaka Yamada
