Class PrinterInfo
is a printing attribute class, a text attribute, that provides descriptive information about a printer. This could include things like: "This printer can be used for printing color
transparencies for HR presentations"
, or "Out of courtesy for others,
please print only small (1-5 page) jobs at this printer"
, or even "This printer is going away on July 1, 1997, please find a new
printer"
.
IPP Compatibility: The string value gives the IPP name value. The locale gives the IPP natural language. The category name returned by
getName()
gives the IPP attribute name.
