An information processing apparatus is used in a network environment including a plurality of printing apparatuses and a plurality of client devices which form printing data for realizing a printing processing in the plurality of printing apparatuses. Regarding an association between printing apparatus and driver constituting a selection unit at the time of distributing drivers corresponding to the printing apparatuses, from the information processing apparatus to the client devices, it is possible to prepare and select associations of [N:1], [1:N], and [N:N]. As a result, it is possible to mitigate erroneous association selection and to achieve further simplification in procedures at the time of selection, which leads to a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO).
