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.
Claims17
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing device having a computer, the information processing device being connectable to a printer, the computer-readable recording medium containing computer-executable instructions realizing a supporting program corresponding to the printer,
- wherein, when a print instruction making the printer to print an image is received from an application program implemented in the information processing device for a general-use printing program embedded in an operating system of the information processing device, the computer-executable instructions cause, when executed by the computer, the information processing device to perform:
- an identification information obtaining process of obtaining identification information which identifies a user;
- a usage condition obtaining process of obtaining a usage condition, the usage condition being a condition used to determine whether printing is executable by the printer, the usage condition being set for each user, the usage condition obtaining process obtaining the usage condition set for the user identified by the obtained identification information;
- and
- when receiving a print instruction, a determination process of determining whether the printing is executable by the printer based on print settings of the print instruction and the obtained usage condition.
