Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a processing unit and associated operating system (OS). The information processing apparatus further includes an application program including a driver customization unit to customize a device driver in the absence of registration of the device driver in an operable manner to the operating system. Even when a printer driver for use on a particular OS is not customizable, it is possible to produce a customized driver corresponding to the printer driver in a manner specified by a user, thereby allowing customization to be performed in a highly efficient manner.
