INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a holding unit configured to hold pieces of device information of printing apparatuses already connected to the information processing apparatus, and pieces of information of hot folders corresponding to the already-connected printing apparatuses;
a determination unit configured to determine a printing apparatus similar to a printing apparatus newly connected to the information processing apparatus among the already-connected printing apparatuses by comparing device information of the newly-connected printing apparatus with the pieces of device information of the already-connected printing apparatuses; and
a generation unit configured to generate a hot folder corresponding to the newly-connected printing apparatus by copying information of a hot folder corresponding to the printing apparatus determined by said determination unit.
