NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING INSTRUCTIONS IMPLEMENTING SUPPORTING PROGRAM
A supporting program for a printer, when executed by a controller of an information processing device, causes the information processing device connectable to the printer, to perform printing processing in response to a universal printing program receiving, from the application program, a print instruction that causes the printer to print an image to be printed, and to receive an error event from the universal printing program, the error event being output by the universal printing program in response to the universal printing program receiving an error notification from the printer after the printing. In a case where the error event output from the universal printing program indicates an insufficient consumable error, the supporting program causes the information processing device to perform notification processing of displaying a notification screen that prompts purchase of a replacement consumable on a user interface of the information processing device.
