INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

If a device driver is simply installed in the same manner for any network environment, there is a possibility that the device driver is installed in a manner improper for a particular network environment. To avoid the above problem, an information processing apparatus selects an optimum installation mode according to property information of the information processing apparatus and property information of an image forming apparatus.
