1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to:
in a case of executing printing with print settings using a predetermined function, receive, from a first image forming apparatus within a predetermined first distance, information on a function executable by a second image forming apparatus different from the first image forming apparatus and information on position of the second image forming apparatus, and store the information on the function in the memory, wherein the information on the function and the information on the position of the second image forming apparatus are initially stored in the first image forming apparatus; and
notify of the second image forming apparatus capable of printing with the print settings, based on the information on the function and the information on the position obtained from the first image forming apparatus,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
acquire position information of the information processing apparatus, and
transmit the position information of the information processing apparatus to the second image forming apparatus to update the position of the second image forming apparatus to the position information of the information processing apparatus in the information on position of the second image forming apparatus when the second image forming apparatus is within a second distance with respect to the information processing apparatus, wherein the second distance is shorter than the first distance.
