1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions executable by a hardware processor communicably connected with a printing device and a user interface, the instructions being configured to, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to perform one or more printing processes, each printing process comprising:
after obtaining a data selection instruction input via the user interface, obtaining a print instruction corresponding to the data selection instruction via the user interface;
starting generating print data using target image data selected based on the data selection instruction, after obtaining the data selection instruction and before obtaining the print instruction; and
even after the print data has been generated, not starting providing the print data to the printing device until obtaining the print instruction, but starting providing the print data to the printing device after obtaining the print instruction.
