Abstract:
An information processing apparatus includes a detector configured to detect whether a first printer serving as a connection destination of an installed first driver has been changed to a second printer; an information acquirer configured to, when the first printer has been changed, acquire from the first driver first information and acquire from the second printer second information; an inquirer configured to request information on a driver for the second printer together with the first and second information to a server, and receive a response including the information on the driver for the second printer; a decider configured to determine a second driver to be installed from drivers indicated by the response; a driver acquirer configured to acquire the second driver from the server; and an installer configured to carry over print settings of the first driver to install the second driver.
