Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus including a first printer driver and a second printer driver, the apparatus comprising: a processor for executing the following processes in response to a single print instruction from a user; inputting a first command for logically ANDing a base bitmap and a black-and-white bitmap and a second command for logically ORing a result of the logically ANDing and a bitmap including a black part, wherein the first printer driver is capable of executing a process based on the first and second commands; generating, from the first and second commands, a third command for rendering on a base bitmap, a bitmap in which the black part included in the bitmap including the black part is transparent and a part other than the black part included in the bitmap including the black part is opaque, wherein the second printer driver is capable of executing a process based on the third command; and providing the third command so that the third command is provided, in response to the single print instruction from the user, to the second printer driver and is not provided, in response to the single print instruction from the user, to the first printer driver, and the second printer driver executes, in response to the single print instruction from the user, the process based on the third command for causing a printer to print, wherein the first printer driver does not execute the process based on the first and second commands for causing, in response to the single print instruction from the user, a printer to print.
