Abstract:
The present invention realizes a technology for improving a process while preventing an error from occurring in a printer in an information processing device having an OS standard general-purpose printing program installed therein. A PC 1 has installed therein an auxiliary program 42 that is compatible with a printer 2 and that assists a general-purpose printing program 41 incorporated beforehand in an OS 21. The auxiliary program 42 registers, in the general-purpose printing program 41, a prescribed file format as a file format for which intermediate data is not generated. The auxiliary program 42 acquires ability information indicating ability of the printer 2 when a printing instruction for causing the printer 2 to execute printing is received from an information application 43 and image data of the prescribed file format is received from the general-purpose printing program 41, and transmits a print job including the received image data to the printer 2 upon determination, on the basis of the ability information, that the printer 2 can handle the type of the prescribed file format of the image data.
