A printing control apparatus suppresses information leaking due to a print job being printed when the user is not at the printer. A printing control apparatus that connects to a terminal and a printer has: a communicator configured to receive from the terminal a specified-printer job, which is a print job for which the printer is designated as a print destination; and a controller. If the specified-printer job is not confidential, the controller sends print data based on the specified-printer job to a specified printer, which is the printer designated as the print destination in the specified-printer job. If the specified-printer job is confidential, the controller receives authentication information input to the printer from the printer and executes an authentication process based on the authentication information, and sends the print data to an authenticated printer according to a result of the authentication process.

An information processing apparatus that performs a program installation includes a determiner and a display controller. The determiner determines whether or not a manner of installation in which the installation is performed corresponds to an update installation that updates a first program previously installed with a second program to be installed at this time. When the manner of installation corresponds to the update installation, the display controller selects a first display setting for causing a predetermined display unit to display a first user interface screen corresponding to the first program. When the manner of installation does not correspond to the update installation, the display controller selects a second display setting for causing the display unit to display a second user interface screen corresponding to the second program.

An information processor includes a read information obtaining unit, a conversion unit, an authentication information obtaining unit, and a conversion method setting unit. The read information obtaining unit obtains read information read from an authentication medium by a reading device. The conversion unit converts the read information in accordance with a predetermined conversion method. The authentication information obtaining unit obtains comparative-purpose authentication information to be used for a comparison with the converted read information. The conversion method setting unit sets, when the converted read information and the comparative-purpose authentication information match each other, the conversion method as a particular conversion method used to convert the read information read by the reading device.
