Abstract:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing instructions executable by a controller of an information processing apparatus. When executed by the controller, the instructions realize a support program corresponding to a printer connected to the information processing apparatus. When a print instruction is input through a printing program, the support program causes the information processing apparatus to obtain printer information stored in a memory, the printing program being implemented, in advance, in an operating system of the information processing apparatus. When driver identifying information is contained in the printer information and a printer driver identified by the driver identifying information contained in the printer information is not installed in the operation system, the support program causes the information processing apparatus to cause the information processing apparatus to perform an operation regarding installation of the printer driver in the operation system, the printer driver corresponding to the printer.
