Apparatus and method for efficiently controlling printers associated with different networks based upon acquired printer or network information, and nontransitory computer readable recording medium for causing computer to function as the same

摘要

A printer control apparatus including a printer search section that searches for, acquires and stores information indicative of printers connected to the network, in a printer information storage section; a network information acquiring section that acquires network information of first and second networks connected to the printer control apparatus at different times and that stores the acquired network information in a network information storage section; and a printer information acquiring section that acquires printer information from the printer search section in a case where the network information of the second network is different from the network information of the first network by causing the printer search section to conduct a search, and acquires the printer information from the printer information storage section in a case where the network information of the second network is identical to the network information of the first network.
