Abstract
An information processing apparatus simply and quickly updates device drivers for devices shared on the network. If version information of a driver for a network device registered in a management server is newer than that of a driver installed in a PC, a CPU obtains driver setup information from the management server, and updates the driver based on the driver setup information.
