摘要： An information processing apparatus, including a storage having a registry area capable of referring to print setting of a plurality of printer drivers, an operation acceptor which accepts inputs of various instructions from a user; a communicator which transmits print data to the image forming device on the basis of the print setting of the printer driver; and a controller which controls the storage, the operation acceptor, and the communicator, in which master data including authentication information can be registered in the registry area, when the operation acceptor accepts an input of a print instruction, the controller refers to the master data and, when the authentication information for authentication print is set, the controller causes the authentication information to be reflected in the print setting of the printer driver and causes the printer driver to generate print data and to transmit the print data to the communicator.

摘要： A printing system includes an image forming apparatus and an information processing device. The image forming apparatus stores custom data indicating a setting value of a printing condition that can be achieved by the own apparatus. The information processing device includes a CPU. The CPU causes the information processing device to acquire custom data stored in the image forming apparatus, and a standard printing condition for a printer driver is set according to the custom data.
