Abstract:
An information processing apparatus installs a printer driver and validates a setting value of a specific function of the printer driver, which is present in a saving region provided by an operating system, based on a setting file including information indicating customization contents of the printer driver. When a print setting screen of the printer driver is opened, the function of the printer driver is customized by performing processing according to a prohibition rule applied to the validated setting value of the specific function in the saving region and a setting value of another function described in a definition file.
