5.2.2.Printer Driver Profiles and Printer Grouping Definition
The Printer Group Definition is a unique technique powered by Digital Identification Solutions to define several groups of "virtual" printers. If created, every Windows application can print to one virtual driver shown in the Windows printer folder without sending jobs individually. In addition, a single printer can be defined as a virtual printer for routing the jobs to specific printer.
The following sample shows the technique of serving:
Windows

(e.g. „My Printer Group A“)
