Abstract
A driver controlling device is disclosed. A UI module stores information of supportable functions of drivers in a function table, and obtains information of functions of a model of a new driver to be used described in model dependent data of the new driver. The UI module determines whether the obtained information of the functions of the new driver has been stored in the information of the supportable functions. When the obtained information of the functions of the new driver has not been stored in the information of the supportable functions, the UI module stores the information of the functions of the new driver which has not been stored in the information of the supportable functions in a un-supporting function list and prevents the new driver from using the information of the functions in the un-supporting function list.
