Comments:
cblt-pi-printer-type specifies the type of printer; for example, HP or Canon.
cblt-pi-printer-device specifies the printer device; for example, lpt1:, :file or :com1. This parameter can be set to multiple devices; each device is separated by a comma (for example, lpt1:,lpt2:).
cblt-pi-printer-comment specifies any comment associated with the printer (for example, the printer might have the comment "Printer for accounts" defined for it).
paper-size defines the paper-size; for example, A4, or Letter.
