Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores a supporting program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. The supporting program causes the information processing apparatus to execute obtaining a print setting, generating a character string for displaying indicating at least a part of the obtained print setting, obtaining image data indicating the image of a selected print job, and transmitting the print job and the generated character string for displaying in a state in which the print job and the character string for displaying are associated with each other. The job name and the character string for displaying are displayed on a display of a connected printer in the state in which the job name and the character string for displaying are associated with each other.

Abstract: Anon-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores computer-readable instructions executable by a processor of an information processing device. The instructions support a general-purpose printing program incorporated in an operating system of the information processing device. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing device to obtain, from a printer, main body information about sheet characteristics for each feed tray of the printer, obtain print settings from the general-purpose printing program, generate, based on the main body information, notification data including sheet information indicating the sheet characteristics for a feed tray set in the print settings, and provide the notification data to the general-purpose printing program, thereby enabling the notification data to be displayed on the print setting screen.

Abstract: A printing system includes a printer and an information processing apparatus which communicates with the printer. The information processing apparatus transmits a printing capability information request to the printer. The printer transmits the printing capability information of the printer to the information processing apparatus, in response to the printing capability information request.

Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores a supporting program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus. When executed by the computer, the supporting program causes the information processing apparatus to execute registering, in a printing program of an operating system, image data in a predetermined file format as data in a file format for which intermediate data does not need to be generated, in a case where the intermediate data is received from the printing program, generating print data based on the received intermediate data and transmitting a print job including the generated print data to a particular printer; and, in a case where the image data in the predetermined format is received from the printing program, receiving an edit of the image indicated by the received image data and transmitting the print job including the edited image data to the particular printer.

Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores a supporting program configured to support a printing program of an operating system of the information processing apparatus. A print queue for each of a plurality of printers is provided in the operating system. The printing program is capable of making a request to the supporting program for processing in a state in which the print queue for any one of the plurality of printers is selected. The supporting program causes the information processing apparatus to execute identifying a printer of the plurality of printers to which processing is requested, reading setting data into which a common setting value indicating a setting value of a print setting commonly used by the plurality of printers is written, and changing a setting value of the print setting of an identified printer based on the common setting value written into the read setting data.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores computer-readable instructions that are executable by a processor of an information processing device and compatible with a printer connected with the information processing device. The instructions support a general-purpose printing program incorporated in an operating system of the information processing device. The general-purpose printing program is configured to handle data for displaying a print setting screen on the information processing device.

Abstract: A supporting program corresponding to the printer causes an information processing device to obtain user identification information and a usage condition associated with the user identification information when a general-use printing program receives a print instruction. The usage condition is a condition that determines whether printing is executable by a printer. The supporting program determines whether the printing is executable by the printer based on print settings of the print instruction and the obtained usage condition.

Abstract: In an information processing device, a support program supports a printer, and a printing program is built in an operating system. The support program causes the information processing device to perform: in a case that a print instruction to execute printing by using the built-in printing program is issued, at least one of a command outputting process and an outputting instruction process. The command outputting process outputs a preceding operation command to the printer before starting transmitting print execution data to the printer. The preceding operation command commands the printer to execute a preceding operation prior to starting printing. The printer having a function to execute the preceding operation specified in the preceding operation command. The outputting instruction process instructs a command transmission program to output the preceding operation command while the outputting instruction process designates the printer as an outputting destination.

Abstract: Provided is technology by which an information processing device having an OS standard general-purpose print program installed therein reduces unevenness in print quality due to a printer-specific characteristic. According to an auxiliary program available for printing using a printer connected to a PC, the PC acquires characteristic data indicative of a characteristic specific to the printer from the printer, and stores the acquired characteristic data in a memory. Further, when a print instruction for causing the printer to execute printing of an image is sent to a general-purpose print program installed in advance in an OS, the PC generates corrected print data corrected based on the characteristic data stored in the memory, for an image that is a print target of the print instruction, and outputs the generated corrected print data such that the generated corrected print data is transmitted from the PC to the printer.

Abstract: The supporting program, which is executable by a CPU of a PC, corresponds to a printer connected to the PC. The supporting program causes the CPU to obtain a capability value concerning a capability of the printer and provide, for a general-use printing program, information for determining a capability of the printer based on the obtained capability value. The general-use printing program provides information based on the information provided from the supporting program to an application program implemented to the PC.

Abstract: When a print instruction making a printer to print an image is received from an application program implemented in an information processing device for a general-use printing program embedded in the information processing device, a supporting program causes the information processing device to obtain identification information which identifies a user, and transmit a print job associated with the identification information to the printer. The printer determines whether printing in accordance with the print job is to be performed based on a usage condition of the user identified by the identification information associated with the print job.
