Description: A description of this alert entry in the localization specified by prtGeneralCurrentLocalization.

The printer is required to return a description string but the string may be a null string.
What is prtAlertDescription?
This read-only string provides the printer's own description of a specific alert entry, in the language and character set selected by prtGeneralCurrentLocalization, elaborating on the alert especially when its code is "other" or "unknown" (though the printer may return an empty string). A help-desk tool displays this text to give a human-readable explanation of what triggered the alert.
