no. 1 approach

[0040] [explanation of the structure]

[0041] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing an outline of the configuration of the printing system of the first embodiment in which the PC 1 and the printer 2 are capable of data communication.

[0042] PC 1 is a general-purpose information processing device, and includes a control unit 11 , an operation unit 12 , a display unit 13 , a storage unit 14 , and a communication unit 15 .

[0043]The control part 11 is for collectively controlling each part of PC1, and has CPU11a, ROM11b, and RAM11c.

[0044] The operation unit 12 is an input device for inputting a command based on a user's external operation, and a keyboard and a pointing device (such as a mouse or a touch panel) are used in the first embodiment.

[0045] The display unit 13 is an output device for displaying various information as an image that the user can visually recognize, and a liquid crystal display is used.

[0046] The storage unit 14 is a nonvolatile storage de...

no. 2 approach

[0100] Next, the setting process of the printer 2 performed by the PC 1 in the second embodiment will be described. Also in the PC 1 of the second embodiment, the same processing as that of the first embodiment is performed, but the content of the driver-side setting change processing is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the following uses Figure 7 (a) The flow chart described in (a) explains the driver side setting change process.

[0101] The processing of S605 and S610 is the same processing as that of S505 and S510 in the first embodiment, so description thereof will be omitted.

[0102] In S615, the printer driver 14c notifies that the setting value has been selected in the setting process on the application side for the specific item for which the selection operation has been performed, and inquires whether to allow the change of the setting value of the specific item, The process proceeds to S620. Specifically, for example, it is also possible ...

Abstract

A storage medium stores a printer driver that controls an information processing apparatus. The printer driver, when executed, causes the information processing apparatus to provide an application with setting values corresponding to options for an item for specifying a print setting and a driver setting option value corresponding to a driver setting option that indicates that the item is allowed to be specified in a driver-side input interface, and receive a result of the selected option in an application-side setting process. When the result received is the driver setting option, display a setting value as the setting value for the item and allowing the value for the item to be changed through the driver-side input interface. When the result received is the option other than the driver setting option, display a setting value that corresponds to the option selected in the application-side setting process as the value for the item.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device for causing a printing device to print and a control method for the information processing device. Background technique [0002] In the printer driver installed in a personal computer (PC), print settings for setting various items related to printing, such as paper size, print quality, and page layout used in printing, are performed according to instructions from the user deal with. However, in the application program installed on the PC, some of the above-mentioned items such as the paper size are also set in accordance with the instruction of the user. Therefore, for such an item, the settings made in the application program and the settings made in the printer driver may be opposite, which may confuse the user. [0003] Therefore, in Patent Document 1, it is described that, in the print setting process performed by the printer driver, the setting of an item that can be set in the ap...
