US 2025/0028488 A1 · STORAGE MEDIUM STORING SUPPORT PROGRAM SUPPORTING GENERAL-PURPOSE PRINTING PROGRAM EMBEDDED IN OPERATING SYSTEM

Abstract

A general-purpose printing program corresponding to a printer is embedded in an operating system. The general-purpose printing program is configured to manage data for displaying a print settings screen on a display of an information processing device. A support program supports the general-purpose printing program. The support program, when executed by a computer of the information processing device, causes the information processing device to perform, when a request to perform a process is issued from the general-purpose printing program in response to the printer being selected: an acquisition process; a generation process; and a display process. The acquisition process acquires service information related to a service corresponding to the printer. The generation process generates notification data based on the service information. The display process transfers the notification data to the general-purpose printing program to have a notification image based on the notification data be displayed in the print settings screen.

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a support program for an information processing device connectable to a printer, the information processing device including:

a display;
a computer;
and a memory configured to store therein an operating system in which a general-purpose printing program corresponding to the printer is embedded, the general-purpose printing program being configured to manage data for displaying a print settings screen on the display, the support program supporting the general-purpose printing program, the support program, when executed by the computer, causing the information processing device to perform, when a request to perform a process is issued from the general-purpose printing program in response to the printer being selected:
an acquisition process acquiring service information, the service information being information related to a service corresponding to the printer;
a generation process generating notification data based on the service information acquired in the acquisition process, the notification data indicating a notification content to be provided to a user;
and
a display process transferring the notification data generated in the generation process to the general-purpose printing program to have a notification image based on the notification data be displayed in the print settings screen displayed on the display.
