Abstract
A client server system which enables the user of a client computer to obtain the optimum printing result only by designating desired print settings, and to perform printing according to common print settings even if printers are modified or a new printer is added on a network. A favorite display module displays a print setting designating screen relating a printer. A data sending and receiving module transmits the print settings designated on the print setting designating screen by a user and an ID of a client computer to a server. A data sending and receiving module receives a printer driver adapted to the printer and print setting information from the server. A favorite setting changing module changes print settings of the printer driver according to the print setting information sent from the server. A favorite setting completion display module indicates that the changing of the print settings has been completed.
