This INF file is used in the installation of several different Hewlett-Packard printers. The manufacturer's name section, [HP], names the two printer product-names that can be installed using this INF file: HP LaserJet 4ML and HP LaserJet 4ML Postscript.

Also specified in the section named [HP] are the Install sections where the printer-specific keys like DriverFile, DataFile, and LanguageMonitor will be found. The names of the two Install sections in this INF file are HPPCL5MS.DRV.BIDI and HP4ML_V4.SPD.
