Abstract
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods for emulating a printing range, on a sheet of paper, of a first image forming apparatus by a second image forming apparatus. An example method includes starting a first printer driver for a first image forming apparatus, obtaining printing range information of the first image forming apparatus from the first printer driver, and creating a plug-in file based on the printing range information of the first image forming apparatus. The plug-in file may include a function for changing a printing range for a second printer driver for a second image forming apparatus. The example method also includes installing the plug-in file into the second printer driver.
