Abstract
In an information processing apparatus for causing a printer to execute a printing operation by registering a font therein, there is disclosed a configuration allowing the information processing apparatus to manage the font to be registered in the printer thereby preventing the failure in the printing operation. The information processing apparatus issues a command for reserving a memory for font registration in the printer, then calculates the available capacity based on the reserved memory capacity at the transfer of the font to the printer, and executes transfer or deletion of the font based on thus calculated available capacity.
