Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium includes an executable program stored thereon. The program instructs a computer to perform changing setting data for performing print control of a printing device to a value of customization setting to be stored in a storage unit; switching a piece of setting data used for printing among pieces of setting data of a plurality of printing devices stored in the storage unit into a piece of setting data of a printing device instructed to be switched; determining whether there is the customization setting to be invalidated in a type of the device after switching; and changing the customization setting to be invalidated to an alternative setting.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus for controlling printing of a printing apparatus has a user interface, a graphics unit, and a print information storing unit to store generated print information before transmitting the generated print information to the printing apparatus. When generating the print information, the graphics unit generates job identification information for identifying the printing operation settable based on the input printout conditions and a print information generation instruction. The graphics unit correlates the generated job identification information and the generated print information. The user interface generates job identification information for the printing operation, obtains the print information correlated with the generated job identification information, and activates a print information use unit for presenting information, related to the printing operation, to the user.
