Printer drivers that support more than one model should now record current
printer settings for each model even if the models use the same port. A
driver records the printer settings for a given model by adding to the
WIN.INI file a section having the following form:
 
[ModelName, Port]
 
The ModelName specifies the name of the model and Port specifies the output
port current associated with the printer as shown in the following example:
 
[HP LaserJet IIID, LPT2]
 
This section must include all printer settings except printer fonts. To
record font information, the driver must add a section having the following
form:
 
[DeviceName, Port]
 
The DeviceName specifies the name of the device and the port specifies the
name of the output port associated with the device as shown in the following
example:
 
[HPPCL5A, LPT1]
 
This section only lists fonts, including those in external cartridges. Also
this section ensures backward compatibility with third-party font packages
that use this section to add fonts.
