1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus having a controller, a general-use printing program being implemented in an operating system of the information processing apparatus, an application program being implemented in the information processing apparatus, the recording medium containing computer-executable programs realizing a supporting program corresponding to a printer connectable to the information processing apparatus,
wherein, the supporting program causing, when executed by the controller, the information processing apparatus to perform:
a receiving process when the general-use printing program receives a particular instruction from the application program, the application program being configured to input the particular instruction to the general-use printing program in a state where an image to be printed being designated through the application program, the receiving process being a process of receiving a processing setting used for processing the designated image, the particular instruction being an instruction to execute a particular process regarding the designated image; and
a processing process of, based on the received processing setting, processing intermediate image data indicating the designated image into processed data;
in a case of previewing, an outputting process of outputting the processed data, which is processed in the processing process based on the received processing setting, to the application program such that a preview based on the processed data is displayed by the application program; and
in a case of printing, a further process using the processed data for printing.
