Abstract: A consumable purchase assist program is built in a computer (500) to which a print apparatus (400) is connected, and contains at least a purchase source information acquisition step for acquiring via a network (220), purchase source information containing dealer information of a consumable required for the print apparatus to print or selling condition information, a type information acquisition step for acquiring consumable type information from the print apparatus, and a consumable information display step for displaying the contents of the purchase source information and the type information on a screen of the computer.

Abstract: The online support system of the present invention provides each user with possible resolutions and operations to eliminate problems and troubles arising in a device of the user in the form of Web pages. The online support system allows the user to gain access to a Web page defined by the URL, which is specified according to user's input information, for example, the model name of the device, the nation, the operating system, and the type of a problem. Possible resolutions and operations against a specific problem, which are prepared in advance, are then displayed for self help on the browser. The operations and resolutions are provided in a stepwise manner in response to user's instructions until the problem is eliminated. When the problem is not eliminated by any of the possible operations and resolutions, the online support system displays an E mail (electronic mail) transmission form. The transmission form allows the user to gain E mail support.

Abstract: A recording medium is provided, which records a program executable on a computer connected to a printer which conducts printing by use of a consumable item, wherein, the program allows the computer to execute, a receiving process which receives from a user an input of a country/region where the printer is used, a storing process which stores a URL being associated with the country/region in the input thus received, with reference to data where the country/region and the URL are associated with each other in advance, and an obtaining process which obtains information regarding a consumption degree of the consumable item used in the printer, and an accessing process which accesses a Web site where the consumable item is purchasable, the Web site being identified by the URL thus stored, when the consumption degree meets a standard which is obtained by a predetermined rule.

Abstract: When a printer carries out maintenance by control by a maintenance control portion 52, an ink information obtaining portion 73 calculates the amount of the consumed ink. The calculated ink amount is stored in a storage element attached to an ink cartridge by a storage element managing portion 74. By doing this, the amount of ink not used in actual printing such as the amount of ink used for maintenance can be grasped by reading out the contents of the storage element later.
