[Printers]

This section is used to install one or more printers during Setup by specifying a user-defined name for identifying the printer, the model name, and the printer port. Each printer to be installed has a separate entry in this section using the following syntax:

PrinterName=DriverModel,Port

The following restrictions apply:

The length of the friendly name for the printer name cannot exceed 32 bytes (31 characters plus a NULL character). If the name specified in the custom setup script is too long, Setup will truncate it to fit the requirement.
The model name must be recognized by Windows 95. You can see the list of supported printer models in the Add Printers wizard or in the printer INF files.
No commas or quotation marks can be used in any string.

Note If the setup script contains a [Printers] section with no entries, the user will not be asked to select a printer the first time that Windows 95 runs.

Friendly Name

This parameter specifies the friendly name, model, and port for a printer to be installed. The printer's friendly name is the name that appears in the Printers folder. The model name must be the exact name of a printer driver that is supported under Windows 95; otherwise, Setup skips this entire section.

Parameter

PrinterName= any string that does not contain these characters:

Values

DriverModel = The exact driver name for any printer model supported under Windows 95

Port = The port that this printer is attached to (such as LPT1) or a UNC path name to a network print queue
