1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for an information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus having a display, a controller, and an operating system which has a general-use printing program, the information processing apparatus being configured to communicate with a printer, the general-use printing program being configured to receive a print instruction to cause the printer to execute printing of an image, to generate print data based on the received print instruction, and to output the generated print data,
wherein the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium containing computer-executable programs realizing a supporting program corresponding to the printer, the computer-executable programs being different from the general-use printing program,
wherein, in response to the general-use printing program receiving the print instruction to cause the printer to execute printing of the image, the computer-executable programs cause, when executed by the controller, the information processing apparatus to perform:
obtaining, from the printer, status information including first information to which the general-use printing program is not adapted and second information to which the general-use printing program is adapted;
controlling a display content to be displayed on the display, the display content including a first content corresponding to the first information to which the general-use printing program is not adapted.
