  11. After clicking on the drop down menu from the Driver names, you see all drivers on your machine.
  12. Opening a random printer you see the specifications
    • For example, it supports color.
    • Notice, it does not support:
      • Multiple copies
      • And duplex printing
  13. Scrolling down, you see many options, like supported paper names, media types and the supported bins.
  14. Let’s check another printer. Just like the previous one, this also supports color. Where the previous printer didn’t support multiple copies and duplex printing.  This one does. You can also see the “maximum of copies” is set to 9999.
  15. Let’s go to all available bins. What’s interesting about the bins is the ID is set for a paper tray. Notice, the ID for 2 is 258.  This translates to Tray 1 for this printer.
