An information processing apparatus storing information regarding a printer and a predetermined printer driver in association includes a controller configured to acquire first capability information defined by a predetermined protocol and second capability information undefined by the predetermined protocol, and store the first capability information and the second capability information having been acquired in association with the information regarding the printer, wherein, based on a storage unit storing the first capability information and the second capability information, a predetermined object is displayed in a selectable state on a display unit, and wherein, based on the displayed predetermined object being selected, an object for receiving a print setting is displayed on the display unit in accordance with the second capability information stored in association with the information regarding the printer.

Information processing apparatus, control method of information processing apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium to display an object for receiving a print setting

An information processing apparatus configured to store information about a printer includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire first capability information defined by a predetermined protocol and second capability information not defined by the predetermined protocol, a display unit configured to display a first object to set a setting value for a first setting item based on the acquired first capability information, and display a second object to set a setting value for a second setting item based on the acquired second capability information, and a transmission unit configured to transmit a first setting value set via the first object and a second setting value set via the second object.

Information processing apparatus, control method therefor, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire capability information about a printer configured to receive print data generated by a predetermined printer driver, and a display unit configured to display an object configured to accept a print setting based on the capability information acquired by the acquisition unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire second capability information based on a predetermined user operation accepted after completion of acquisition of first capability information of the capability information.

Information processing apparatus, control method of information processing apparatus, and storage medium for acquiring capability information about a printer

A method for controlling an information processing apparatus that is to be executed by a print setting application installed in the information processing apparatus includes displaying, on a display unit, a first character string corresponding to predetermined capability information about a printer of a first printing method in a case where the printer of the first printing method is selected as a print data transmission destination, and displaying, on the display unit, a second character string corresponding to the predetermined capability information in a case where a printer of a second printing method is selected as the print data transmission destination.

Information processing apparatus having print setting capability, control method, and storage medium therefor

An information processing apparatus that stores a printer driver configured to generate image data to be transmitted according to a predetermined protocol includes a selection unit configured to select printer information regarding a single printer from stored printer information regarding a plurality of printers, a notification unit configured to give a notification to an application corresponding to the printer information selected by the selection unit, an acquisition unit configured to, based on an instruction given by the application having received the notification, acquire first capability information that is defined by a predetermined protocol and second capability information that is not defined by the predetermined protocol from a cloud print service, and a display unit configured to, based on the second capability information acquired by the acquisition unit, display an object that receives a print setting.

Information processing apparatus, control method for controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium for displaying a print setting screen

An information processing apparatus that is capable of preventing lowering of operability when printing is performed. In a client terminal, an OS acquires capability information related to printing capability from a server that provides a cloud print service or a printer, and a controller displays a screen. The capability information has a hierarchical structure including at least one item name and a plurality of attribute values belonging to the item name. The controller can perform first display for collectively displaying the item name and the attribute values and second display for displaying the plurality of attribute values in a state sorted into groups of attribute values relevant to each other.

Information processing apparatus capable of preventing lowering of operability when printing is performed, method of controlling information processing apparatus, and storage medium

A first server system according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes a control unit configured to instruct a client terminal to display a screen for inputting authentication information to a third server system as the transmission destination of image data registered in a second server system, an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a printing apparatus capable of printing the image data registered in the second server system, from the third server system that has performed authentication based on the authentication information input via the screen, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the acquired information about the printing apparatus to the second server system.

Server system for obtaining a token for accessing a service

An information processing apparatus is configured to communicate with a server system with information about a first printing apparatus registered therein. The information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit to acquire information about a first printing apparatus registered as a default printing apparatus in the server system, a storage unit to store information about a second printing apparatus to perform communication not using the server system, as information about the default printing apparatus to be used, a determination unit to determine which of the stored information about the second printing apparatus and the acquired information about the first printing apparatus is to be displayed as information about the default printing apparatus, and a display unit to display the information about the default printing apparatus based on a result of the determination by the determination unit.

Information processing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and recording medium for setting a default printing apparatus

A printing system including a server connected to a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus via a network includes a reception unit configured to receive a request to print a file from the second information processing apparatus and a determination unit configured to determine whether a user associated with the second information processing apparatus has a right to print the file, wherein the printing system transmits a first notification for requesting a confirmation about whether to grant the right to the first information processing apparatus in a case where the determination unit determines that the user does not have the right, and wherein the printing system permits the file to be printed from a printing apparatus connected to the server in a case where a confirmation to grant the right is received from the first information processing apparatus as a response to the first notification.
