A method of managing program versions by acquiring information about a program provided over a network, comparing the latest version of the program with a version currently used by the program, and determining whether to perform an update of the program or prompting for an update of the program, comprising: responding Depending on the importance of the modification to be made from the currently used version of the program to the latest version of the program, it is determined whether to perform an update of the program or prompted to update the program.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for program version management, a program, and a printing system. Background technique [0002] For the printer as a printing device, the printer driver as a program is regularly released, and new functions are added to it or the fault is modified. Therefore, the printing system or information processing device that uses the printer needs to frequently update its printer driver to a new version. . [0003] In this case, when the user wants to update the printer driver to a new version, the user needs to actively search for the latest software based on the information available on the Internet or from the manufacturer to download the software (program), and then perform the version Update. This is very troublesome. [0004] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-63098 discloses a host device of a printer system, which obtains information about the printer driver software currently used therein and the connection ac...
