  • Patent number: 9891872
    Abstract: A printer driver is installed on a client PC. The printer driver acquires a first time stamp from a server, and determines whether the first time stamp and a second time stamp stored in the client PC are identical. When the first time stamp and the second time stamp are different, the printer driver acquires device option information of a MFP. When the first time stamp and the second time stamp are different, the printer driver updates content of the second time stamp to content of the first time stamp.
