Abstract
A system, for use with an operating system that includes an interface module which interfaces between an application program and a device driver, creates a proxy image in order to transmit information relating to an output image through the interface module. The system includes generating, in the application program, an output image having a first format which cannot be transmitted through the interface module, and creating a proxy image having a second format which can be transmitted through the interface module, the proxy image including information relating to the output image. The proxy image is then transmitted through the interface module to the device driver.
