Abstract:
A printer control apparatus including a printer search section that searches for, acquires and stores information indicative of printers connected to the network, in a printer information storage section; a network information acquiring section that acquires network information of first and second networks connected to the printer control apparatus at different times and that stores the acquired network information in a network information storage section; and a printer information acquiring section that acquires printer information from the printer search section in a case where the network information of the second network is different from the network information of the first network by causing the printer search section to conduct a search, and acquires the printer information from the printer information storage section in a case where the network information of the second network is identical to the network information of the first network.
