Abstract
An information processing apparatus obtains a print setting definition file of a printer driver, and an additional function from a printing apparatus. In addition, the apparatus generates print function information in which a setting item, a first additional item, and a second additional item are described. In a case in which one additional function, as the additional function, is obtained, the print function information is generated so that information regarding the one additional function is described in the first additional item, and an attribute indicating non-display is described in the second additional item. In a case in which the first additional function and a second additional function, as the additional function, are obtained, the print function information is generated so that information regarding the first additional function is described in the first additional item, and information regarding the second additional function is described in the second additional item.
