1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that are executable by a processor of an information processing device and compatible with a printer connected with the information processing device, the instructions supporting a general-purpose printing program incorporated in advance in an operating system of the information processing device, the instructions being configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the information processing device to perform:
obtaining main body information stored in the printer, the printer having one or more feed trays and storing the main body information indicating sheet characteristics for each of the one or more feed trays;
obtaining print settings from the general-purpose printing program, the general-purpose printing program being configured to handle data for displaying a print setting screen on the display, the print setting screen being configured to accept, as the print settings, specified values set for a plurality of settable items including items of sheet characteristics and an item of feed tray;
generating notification data based on the obtained main body information, the notification data including sheet information indicating the sheet characteristics for a specified feed tray set in the obtained print settings; and
providing the generated notification data to the general-purpose printing program, thereby enabling the notification data to be displayed on the print setting screen.
