1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer of a terminal to perform:
receiving first device-identifying information from an operating system (“OS”) program of the terminal, wherein the first device-identifying information identifies a first function-executing device and is included in first identifying information received at the terminal, the first identifying information being received at the terminal from the first function-executing device via a first interface of the terminal, and wherein the computer program being launched by the OS program occurs in response to receipt of the first identifying information at the terminal;
in a case where the first device-identifying information matches with device-identifying information stored in a memory of the terminal, receiving capability information of the first function-executing device, from the first function-executing device via a wireless connection between a second interface of the terminal and the first function-executing device, where the wireless connection is already established prior to receiving the first device-identifying information from the OS program; and
displaying, on the display of the terminal, a screen indicating capability of the first function-executing device based on the capability information after receiving the capability information.
