Computer-readable storage medium, information processing device, and method for automatically setting particular processing

An information processing device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• and
• a controller including:
• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an application program, a general-purpose print program incorporated in an operating system of the information processing device, and computer-readable instructions conforming to a printer connected with the information processing device via the communication interface, the computer-readable instructions realizing a support program that supports the general-purpose print program and configured to cause the printer to perform driverless printing in cooperation with the support program, the instructions of the support program being configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the controller to:
• obtain automatic setting information stored in an external device connected with the information processing device via the communication interface, the automatic setting information indicating whether particular processing is to be performed on a target image to be printed;
• in response to a print instruction to cause the printer to print the target image being output from the application program to the general-purpose print program,
• receive execution instructions from the general-purpose print program, the execution instructions comprising intermediate image data generated by the general-purpose print program from the target image output from the application program, and information on print settings;
• and
• in response to receiving the execution instructions from the general-purpose print program, perform an automatic setting execution process to configure the print settings, the automatic setting execution process comprising determining whether the particular processing is to be performed on the target image to be printed, based on the obtained automatic setting information, and configuring the print settings to perform the particular processing on the target image to be printed in response to determining that the particular processing is to be performed on the target image.

A method implementable by a processor of an information processing device, the processor being configured to execute a support program having computer-readable instructions, the instructions of the support program conforming to a printer connected via a communication interface with the information processing device, the support program supporting a general-purpose print program incorporated in an operating system and is configured to cause the printer to perform driverless printing in cooperation with the support program, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by the processor executing the support program, automatic setting information stored in an external device connected via the communication interface with the information processing device, the automatic setting information indicating whether particular processing is to be performed on a target image to be printed;
• in response to a print instruction to cause the printer to print the target image being output from an application program incorporated in the information processing device to the general-purpose print program, activating the support program by the general-purpose print program;
• receiving, by the processor executing the support program, execution instructions from the general-purpose print program, the execution instructions comprising intermediate image data generated by the general-purpose print program from the target image output from the application program, and information on print setting;
• and
• in response to receiving the execution instructions from the general-purpose print program, performing, by the processor executing the support program, an automatic setting execution process to configure the print settings, the automatic setting execution process comprising determining whether the particular processing is to be performed on the target image to be printed, based on the obtained automatic setting information, and configuring the print settings to perform the particular processing on the target image to be printed in response to determining that the particular processing is to be performed on the target image.
