Class Overview
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.
