What is prtMarkerProcessColorants?

This read-only object reports the number of process colors (CMYK components, spot colors, or monochrome) that the printer's marking engine can produce, with a value of 1 meaning monochrome printing. It defines the printing capability of the device. Network administrators use this to understand device capabilities and determine whether the printer can support required color printing requirements.
