Information processing apparatus for controlling ejection recovery of connected ink jet printer

摘要

An information processing apparatus is capable of connecting a plurality of types of printers including an ink-jet printer. The apparatus includes a detector, a connecting device, a counter, a discrimination section and an ejection recovery controller. The detector detects that a power supply of the apparatus is turned on. The connector electrically connects a printer. The counter measures an inactive period of the printer connected to the connector. The discrimination section discriminates a type of printer connected to the connector. The ejection recovery controller causes, when the discrimination section discriminates an ink-jet printer, the printer to execute ejection recovery processing when the detector detects that the power supply is turned on, and when the counter measures a predetermined inactive period.
