Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing apparatus that can control an image forming apparatus equally as with a conventional V3 driver, even if the information processing apparatus has a V4 driver installed therein, which cannot include a unique language monitor.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus 101 having an OS mounted therein and creating a print job from print data received from an application 102 with the OS comprises a virtual device service 106 that is connected with a printer via a port of the information processing apparatus. The virtual device service receives a print job from the OS and transmits the print job to the printer, upon reception of a printer control command from the OS, transmits the command to the printer, and upon reception of a response of the printer to the control command from the device service, displays the status of the printer on the basis of the response.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】独自のランゲージモニタを含ませることができないV4ドライバをインストールしている情報処理装置でも、従来のV3ドライバと同等に画像形成装置を制御できる情報処理装置を提供する。【解決手段】OSを搭載し、OSにより、アプリケーション102から受け取った印刷データから印刷ジョブを生成する情報処理装置101は、情報処理装置のポートを介して印刷装置と接続する仮想デバイスサービス106を備える。仮想デバイスサービスは、OSから印刷ジョブを受け取って印刷装置に送信するとともに、OSから印刷装置の制御コマンドを受け取ると印刷装置に送信し、制御コマンドに対する印刷装置からの応答をデバイスサービスから受け取ると、応答に基づいて印刷装置のステータスを表示させる。【選択図】図1
