Abstract:
In the case of displaying, as a list, information pieces on virtual printers registered in multiple respective printing services, the user may become confused when choosing a printer if virtual printers that correspond to a printer are displayed as different printers, consequently reducing user convenience. The present invention relates to searching for virtual printers registered in multiple respective printing services and generating a printer list that displays, as a group, virtual printers corresponding to a printer among the virtual printers thus found, on the basis of printer identifiers of the virtual printers.
