There is provided an information processing device for executing a program for printing. The information processing device includes a processor and a memory that stores print information used for printing and instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to execute the following steps: converting data to be printed into print data that is printable by an image forming apparatus; and upon detecting that the print information stored in the memory includes execution information of a predetermined process for the print data generated by the converting step, executing the predetermined process based on the execution information.

Information processing device, information processing system, and information processing method for executing script included in print information

An information processing apparatus includes a memory that stores, for each one of a plurality of paper types, paper profile information that includes multiple paper attribute information each defining an attribute of paper and stores preferentially displayed paper attribute information in association with at least one configuration, the preferentially displayed paper attribute information indicating paper attribute information to be displayed preferentially compared to other paper attribute information of the multiple paper attribute information and circuitry that obtains preferentially displayed paper attribute information corresponding to paper to be printed in the at least one configuration, and control a display to display preferentially displayed paper attribute information.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and information processing system

An information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to provide a print setting interface for setting print setting values for various print setting items, acquire, as specific print setting data, a specific print setting item having many print setting values to be set, among the print setting items, and a specific print setting value set for the specific print setting item, acquire a relevant print setting value set for a relevant print setting item associated with the specific print setting item, acquire the specific print setting value associated with the relevant print setting value among print setting values registered in both the specific print setting data and history print setting data that is the print setting values set for the print setting items, and present the acquired specific print setting value in the print setting interface as a candidate for the specific print setting value.

Information processing apparatus, printing system, and information processing method, configured to present acquired setting values as candidate setting values in print setting interface

An information processing apparatus is connected to a print control apparatus for generating image data. The information processing apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate gloss control plate data for specifying a type of a surface effect imparted to a recording medium and a region in the recording medium to which the surface effect is imparted; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the gloss control plate data to the print control apparatus.

Information processing apparatus, method, and storage medium for generating image data specifying a type of surface effect

A information processing unit includes: a control unit configured to control operation processing of individual units through a user interface; a print set value storage unit configured to store a print set value that is set by operation of an operation unit on a basic setting screen displayed on a display unit on which setting relating to the color printing is performed at a basic level and a print detail set value that is set by operation of the operation unit on a detail setting screen as another dialog on which the setting is performed at a detail level under operation control of the control unit; and a print data creating unit configured to create print data of the color printing based on the print set value and the print detail set value under operation control of the control unit.

Information processing unit, printing control method for printer driver, and computer program product

An information processing apparatus for generating plate data used to generate image data in an image processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a designating unit configured to designate a rendering object; a surface-effect receiving unit configured to receive a type of a surface effect imparted to the rendering object; a plate data generating unit configured to generate the plate data so that the type of the surface effect is imparted to a region in which the rendering object is to be rendered in a recording medium and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the plate data to the print processing apparatus.

Information processing apparatus and information processing method

In a printer driver, combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data are saved as standard patterns, and combinations of standard print conditions and standard render data used for exceptional settings are saved as print application patterns. The print application patterns and the standard patterns are associated with each other. When printing document data, print condition data and render data are spooled by each page, the standard print conditions and the standard render data are compared, and a most similar standard pattern is detected. The print application pattern corresponding to the detected standard pattern is referred to, and print conditions are generated by combining standard print conditions and print conditions of the document data for each page. From the render data of the document data or from the standard render data, print data that can be processed by the printer is generated.
