Computer-readable storage medium, information processing device, and method for causing printer to perform process other than normal printing based on activation instruction

An information processing device comprising:

• a communication interface;
• and
• a controller comprising:
• a computer;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a general-purpose print program incorporated in advance in an operating system of the information processing device, and computer-readable instructions realizing a support program that is compatible with a particular printer and supports the general-purpose print program, the support program being configured to, when executed by the computer, cause the controller to:
• in response to receiving a particular processing request from the general-purpose print program when a print instruction to cause the particular printer to print a target image has been output from an application program incorporated in the information processing device to the general-purpose print program, obtain image data representing the target image from the general-purpose print program, and send a print command based on the obtained image data to the particular printer via the communication interface;
• and
• in response to receiving a specific processing request from the general-purpose print program when the operating system has received an activation instruction to activate the support program with the particular printer selected, obtain main body information of the particular printer from the particular printer via the communication interface, and send a main body command to cause the particular printer to perform a process based on the obtained main body information, to the particular printer via the communication interface.

A method implementable by a computer executing computer-readable instructions on an information processing device, the computer-readable instructions realizing a support program that is compatible with a particular printer and supports a general-purpose print program incorporated in advance in an operating system of the information processing device, the method comprising:

• in response to receiving a particular processing request from the general-purpose print program when a print instruction to cause the particular printer to print a target image has been output from an application program incorporated in the information processing device to the general-purpose print program, obtaining, by the support program, image data representing the target image from the general-purpose print program, and sending, by the support program, a print command based on the obtained image data to the particular printer;
• and
• in response to receiving a specific processing request from the general-purpose print program when the operating system has received an activation instruction to activate the support program with the particular printer selected, obtaining, by the support program, main body information of the particular printer from the particular printer, and sending, by the support program, to the particular printer a main body command to cause the particular printer to perform a process based on the obtained main body information.
