ABSTRACT:
A method (200) for generating a device driver in an information processing apparatus (101) for a device connected thereto, such as a printer (115), is disclosed. The method (100) obtains a Printer Characterization File (PCF) which contains a characterization of the device (115) or a group of devices. The device driver is then generated by using the PCF to configure a Device Model Independent Printer Driver (DMIPD) stored with an application on an unchangeable memory, such as a CD-ROM.
