In the Print UI, you create printer profiles. These profiles let you configure settings based on the types of printers you use and the documents you print, making it easy to reuse and apply the appropriate configurations.

A printer profile is assigned to a printer profile group, and each printer profile group can contain a maximum of four (4) printer profiles.
