Description: A description of the media contained in this input sub-unit; This description is to be used by a client to format and Localize a string for display to a human operator. This description is not processed by the printer. It is used to provide information not expressible in terms of the other media attributes (e.g., prtInputMediaDimFeedDirChosen, prtInputMediaDimXFeedDirChosen, prtInputMediaWeight, prtInputMediaType).
What is prtInputMediaName?
This OID holds a text description of the paper or media currently loaded in a printer's input tray (e.g., 'Letter White Matte 20lb'). It allows the printer to communicate what type of media it's ready to print on. A print administrator checking printer status would read this to confirm the correct paper type is loaded before sending a job with specific media requirements.
