Printer Driver Color Profile Registration in Operating System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Color profile information cannot be appropriately registered in an operating system (OS) when it is not initially registered, leading to issues with selecting the correct color profile for printing, especially if file permissions or print queue registration processes are not correctly set.
Innovation Solution
A program is provided that functions as an obtaining unit, registration unit, and control unit to obtain and register color profile information in the OS, changing file permissions and re-registering print queues as necessary to ensure proper registration and selection of color profiles for printing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If color profile information is not initially registered in the OS, then the OS cannot select the correct color profile for printing, but attempting to register it may fail due to file permissions or print queue registration issues
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary checks to determine whether color profile information is already registered in the OS before attempting registration. It also pre-checks file permissions and print queue registration status, and performs necessary corrections in advance, preventing registration failures before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism that monitors the registration process, detects failures due to permission or print queue issues, and automatically triggers corrective actions. The system continuously checks registration status and adjusts its behavior based on the detected state, ensuring reliable color profile registration.
2Reliability
If the system automatically checks and corrects color profile registration status, then registration reliability improves, but processing time and system resource usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary checks to determine whether color profile information is already registered in the OS before attempting registration. It also pre-checks file permissions and print queue registration status, and performs necessary corrections in advance, preventing registration failures before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs checks and corrections only when necessary - specifically when color profile information is not registered or when registration fails. It does not continuously monitor or re-register color profiles when they are already properly registered, thus avoiding unnecessary processing time and resource consumption.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus obtains information of a color profile managed by a printer driver and registers, in an operating system (OS), the obtained information of the color profile. The information processing apparatus changes a method of registration in the OS based on the obtained information of the color profile.
