Abstract
A client is used in an environment in which a printing method for causing a device to print printing data via a print server coexists with a printing method for transmitting print data to the device without the intervention of the print server for printout. If it is determined that a printer driver to be set up on the local printer is a newer version than that of a printer driver for a network printer and is shared therewith, a printer driver to be set up on the local printer is set up, and setting processing regarding a printer driver on the print server so as to cause the network printer to operate normally is performed.
