MORE INFORMATION
[PRINTERPORTS] SECTION --

The [PrinterPorts] section lists the active and inactive printers that can be accessed by Windows device drivers, specifies the communications port or ports to which the devices are connected, and their corresponding timeout values.

The [PrinterPorts] section can contain settings of the following type:

=

Purpose: The  keyname is the name of the device. The  value is the driver filename. If a device is        not currently connected, the  value should be the string specified in the NullPort setting (in the [windows]        section).

The  value determines the amount of        time (in seconds) allowed for attempted transmission retries. The  value determines the number of        seconds Print Manager will wait for a device to be switched on. If these values are not set for a particular port, Windows uses the default settings in the [windows] section.

To change: Choose the Printers icon from the Control Panel window. Additional query words: 3.00 3.0 3.0a 3.00a win30
