A printing system uses different color quality values to set quality levels for color printing operations. When creating a calibration for a paper, a color quality attribute is defined that corresponds with the level of color printing quality for the calibration. The resulting calibration is stored with the color quality attribute. The calibration is used to create an ICC profile that is used in color printing operations for the paper. Print jobs may indicate the color quality attribute for the paper for color printing such that the calibration and ICC profile are selected.

Printing system and methods for managing color printing resources

An information processing method includes: activating the SNMP module, and controlling an SNMP module to obtain device configuration information of an image forming apparatus from the image forming apparatus by using SNMP-based-communication information stored in Queue Property Bag by means of SNMP-based communication via a communication interface, the SNMP-based-communication information being authentication information necessary for the SNMP-based communication, and to store the obtained device configuration information in the Queue Property Bag; and determining a function that the image forming apparatus is configured to execute on the basis of the device configuration information obtained and stored in the Queue Property Bag by the SNMP module, and generating a first customized UI supporting the determined function, the first customized UI being a customized UI of the V4 printer driver.

Information processing apparatus, recording medium, and information processing method

When a processor of an information processing apparatus executes the Custom Printer Properties to realize v4 UPD, the processor () opens the Printer Extension, and loads the current print settings from the common Print Ticket, () creates model-specific DPB in queried from DPB collection, the DPB collection being collection of DPBs for printer drivers installed in the information processing apparatus, () creates model-specific QPB using existing QPB, () creates model-specific Print Capabilities using the model-specific QPB and the DPB collection, () creates model-specific Print Ticket that represents model-specific print settings using the common Print Ticket, () passes the model-specific DPB, the model-specific QPB, the model-specific Print Capabilities, and the model-specific Print Ticket to non-UPD part of the Printer Extension, which allow the non-UPD part of the Printer Extension to display model-specific UI, () loads the model-specific print settings from the model-specific Print Ticket, and saves the model-specific print settings.
