<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a load for developing a device which downloads a resource. <P>SOLUTION: A resource downloader is separated into a GUI module 101, download modules 103 and 104 and a directory module 105, and the locations and functions of the download modules lying scattered on a network, are managed by the directory module 105. The GUI module 101 identifies a transfer object download module for a printer based on information obtained from the directory module 105. When a resource and the IP address of a printer are supplied to the download module thus identified, the resource is converted to a format for the printer and transferred. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
