Abstract
Peripheral equipment control program, program control device, program control method, peripheral equipment driver, peripheral equipment control device, and method for installing peripheral equipment control driver are disclosed. A peripheral equipment control program stored in an information processing device connected to a peripheral equipment, causes a computer to carry out processing for requesting a file which describes software specific to the peripheral equipment, of the peripheral equipment; processing for storing and holding the file transmitted from the peripheral equipment on the request; processing for activating the software on the basis of the stored and held file; when data which the peripheral equipment is requested to process is received from an application stored in the information processing device, processing for requesting the software to create job data on the basis of the received data; and processing for transmitting the job data which the software has created on the basis of the data, to the peripheral equipment.
