I was here, and also was this tool, but I didn't know... :o

Stoic Joker:
Interesting... So does this interact with the printer directly at any point, or just read the info available to/through/from the driver?

Ath:
It's just info available from the printer driver, but not query-able elsewhere, as far as I found. And it does sometimes change based on OS or after a driver update :o
