According to the present invention, there is provided a printer icon generating system for performing a printing operation with a predetermined printing attribute only by a simple operation. A CPU acquires the driver attribute of a printer or a device attribute, and then determines whether or not the printer can perform a double-sided printing operation. As a result, when the double-sided printing operation can be performed, the CPU generates a printer icon of "<printer name>_double sided_2up" with respect to the printer by the use of a copied printer icon. Further, the CPU sets a printing attribute with respect to the printer icon.
