Abstract

A method of managing program versions by acquiring information about a program supplied via a network, comparing the program of a latest version with the program of a currently used version, and deciding whether or not to perform or prompt an update of the program includes determining whether or not to perform or prompt the update of the program in response to importance of modifications to be made from the program of the currently used version to the program of the latest version.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a program version management method, program and printing system. Background technique [0002] For a printer as a printing device, a printer driver as a program is periodically released, new functions are added to it or a malfunction is corrected, so that a printing system or an information processing device using 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. renew. This is very troublesome. [0004] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-63098 discloses a host device of a printer system, which acquires information about the printer driver software currently used therein, and the conne...
