Class CIM_PrintChannel
extends CIM_PrinterElement

This class represents the PrintChannel component of a Printer (print device). It contains properties that describe the print protocol type and version and the status of the PrintChannel. Note: A PrintChannel shall be associated with exactly one Printer via an instance of the PrinterComponent class. A PrintChannel may be associated with a PrintInterpreter (for Job Control Language or Page Description Language defaults) via an instance of AssociatedPrintInterpreter. See: Model in section 2 of Printer MIB (RFC 3805).
