Abstract
A printing instruction apparatus includes a definition unit, a group storage unit, a difference storage unit, and a determination unit. The definition unit defines a function of a printing apparatus. The group storage unit stores, for each of groups of printing apparatuses categorized in accordance with a predetermined rule, function information indicating a function provided in a printing apparatus which belongs to the group from among functions defined by the definition unit. The difference storage unit stores, for each apparatus type, difference information indicating a group to which the apparatus type belongs and a difference between apparatus types of printing apparatuses. The determination unit determines a function of each apparatus type, based on the function information corresponding to the apparatus type which is identified by the group indicated by the difference information.
