Information processing apparatus for generating printing data by different methods, computer readable recording medium and method of controlling the information processing apparatus

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes a printing setting reception part generating setting information from printing settings when a printing request is given by an application; an image processing part converting document data obtained from the application into printing data for a printer based on the setting information; and a determination part determining whether the application having called the image processing part is a specific application, by determining at least one of whether the setting information includes specific application information described by the application and whether the specific application information is included in an argument of a function for calling the image processing part. When it has been determined that the specific application has called the image processing part, the image processing part generates the printing data by a method different from a method of a case of having been called by an application other than the specific application.

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
a printing setting reception part to generate setting information from printing settings at a time of a printing request from an application; an image processing part to convert document data obtained from the application into printing data for a printer based on the setting information; and an application determination part to determine whether an application that has called the image processing part is a specific application, by determining whether the setting information includes specific application information described by the specific application, wherein the image processing part is configured to generate the printing data, in a case where the application determination part has determined that the image processing part has been called by the specific application, by a method different from a method to generate the printing data in a case where the image processing part has been called by an application other than the specific application, the image processing part is configured to generate the printing data from the setting information and the document data, in a case where the image processing part has been called by an application other than the specific application, and the image processing part is configured to generate the printing data by using a part of the printing data that the image processing part has generated before being called by the specific application, in a case where the image processing part has been called by the specific application.
