Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores instructions realizing a program set including first and second programs. The second program causes, when executed, an information processing apparatus to obtain identifying information regarding an image processing device and store device information containing the identifying information in a memory in association with program information regarding the second program. The first program causes, when executed, the information processing apparatus to transmit device information to the operating system and retrieve, from the memory, the program information associated with the device information designated as a transmission destination by a first execution instruction staring the second program based the program information, the first execution instruction being output by the operating system using a first protocol. The second program further causes the information processing apparatus to transmit a second execution instruction corresponding to the first execution instruction to the image processing device using a second protocol.

Abstract: A communication device is configured to communicate with an information processing apparatus through a first communication interface using a first protocol, and communicate with an image processing apparatus having the image processing function through a second communication interface using a second protocol which is different from the first protocol. A controller of the communication device is configured to obtain particular information of the image processing apparatus from the image processing apparatus using the second protocol. When receiving a search request from the information processing apparatus, the controller responds to the search request based on the particular information as obtained. When receiving a first execution instruction from the information processing apparatus through the first communication interface using the first protocol, the controller transmits a second execution instruction in accordance with the first execution instruction to the image processing apparatus through the second communication interface using the second protocol.

Abstract: An image processing system is provided with an image processing apparatus and an information processing apparatus including an operating system and a display. When receiving a specific user's operation regarding the image processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus transmits an execution request to the image processing apparatus using a specific protocol, which is a protocol used when communicating with the image processing apparatus according to a universal image processing program incorporated in the operation system. When receiving the execution request using the specific protocol, the image processing apparatus executes a prescribed process and transmits to the information processing apparatus a URL indicating the address of a web site where a specific image processing program compatible with the image processing apparatus can be downloaded. When receiving the URL, the information processing apparatus displays a reception screen on the display for receiving an instruction to access the address indicated by the URL.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a combination of programs including a first program and an operating system. The first program controls an image processing apparatus. The combination includes a first acquisition process in which the operating system acquires a setting candidate value after the operating system receives a selection operation selecting the first program under a condition that the image processing apparatus is selected as a target for requesting an image process and a condition that content data is selected as a subject for the image process by the second program. The combination includes a receiving process in which the operating system receives a setting value based on the setting candidate value, a second acquisition process in which the first program acquires the setting value received in the receiving process, and a transmission process in which the first program transmits a job to an image processing apparatus.
