Abstract:
A data communication method includes the steps of: receiving from an application a request instruction including first print setting information retained by the application and a demand for prescribed processing concerning a print setting, transmitting an instruction to an information generation component provided by an operating system to generate second print setting information from the received first print setting information where the second print setting information is formed in a data structure processible in the printer driver, receiving the second print setting information generated in response to the instruction, executing the prescribed processing based on the received second print setting information, and returning a result of the prescribed processing to the application.

Claim (Index 17):
An information processing apparatus configured to communicate data concerning a print setting between an application designed to run on an operating system and a printer driver based on V4 architecture, comprising:\n a processing component provided in the printer driver based on the V4 architecture and configured to perform processing in response to a request concerning the print setting from the application, wherein the processing component performs receiving a request instruction from the application, the request instruction including\n first print setting information retained by the application, and \n a demand for prescribed processing concerning the print setting, \n transmitting an instruction to an information generation component provided by the operating system to generate second print setting information from the received first print setting information, the second print setting information being formed in a data structure processible in the printer driver, receiving the second print setting information generated in response to the instruction, generating third print setting information from the received second print setting information, the third print setting information being formed in a data structure processible in a printer driver based on V3 architecture, executing the prescribed processing by using the third print setting information, generating the second print setting information from the third print setting information, transmitting an instruction to the information generation component to generate the first print setting information from the second print setting information generated from the third print setting information, and returning to the application a result of the prescribed processing and the first print setting information generated in response to the instruction.
