PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain user-friendliness while suppressing the increase of search processing load and data capacity.SOLUTION: Machine-dependent data 141 and 151 for control of each of machine types of printers are registered with a machine-dependent data registration unit 140 and a handover machine-dependent data registration unit 150, and a use continuation condition 161 being the condition under which machine-dependent data to be left after update of a printer driver 120 which provides a function of controlling a printer by using the machine-dependent data 141 and 151 should be selected is registered with a use continuation condition registration unit 160. When the printer driver 120 is updated, a use state determination unit 123 determines data to be left and data to be deleted out of the machine-dependent data 141 and 151 on the basis of the use continuation condition 161, and a machine type information management unit 124 deletes machine-dependent data of which the deletion is determined. |
