Abstract
In an information processing apparatus including a printer driver, when outputting of data generated by executing an application is requested, an output mode selection is performed to select a first output mode in which to output the data generated by the application without data indicating an revise date/time and a second output mode in which to output the data generated by the application together with the data indicating the revise date/time of the data generated by the application. In accordance with the selection, the printer driver controls outputting of data to a printer in the first output mode in which the data generated by the application is output to the printer without the data indicating the revise date/time or in the second output mode in which the data generated by the application is output to the printer together with the data indicating the revise date/time. This allows the revise date/time to be easily reflected in a printed matter produced by the printer.
