An information processing apparatus includes: printer driver circuits that drive different image forming devices, respectively; a virtual printer driver circuit that describes a document to be printed in a device-independent format to generate device-independent spool data, and describes a variable for printing the document in a standard print setting storage format to generate standard-format job data; and a distribute circuit that selects a printer driver circuit to generate print data of the document based on the variable described in the standard-format job data out of the printer driver circuits, and supplies the device-independent spool data and the standard-format job data to the selected printer driver circuit.
