What this is: One public English how-to page on softwaretraining.co.za, an AM.CO.ZA training-video project (achievement.co.za directory describes SoftwareTraining as an AM.CO.ZA project of short problem-solving CNC software videos). InkRIP is AM software (AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Easy RIP). This page is Part 1 of the mini-series Printer Drivers Within AM.CO.ZA InkRIP Software and How To Modify Them (understanding what a printer driver is). Distinct from the earlier category summary training/inkrip-and-rip-training.md (source https://softwaretraining.co.za/training-videos/rip), from Part 2 training/inkrip-printer-driver-install.md, from Part 3 training/inkrip-printer-driver-copies.md, from Part 4 training/inkrip-printer-driver-properties.md, from Part 5 training/inkrip-printer-driver-resolutions.md, from Part 6 training/inkrip-custom-printing-resolutions.md, from Part 7 training/inkrip-ink-slot-order.md, from Part 8 training/inkrip-driver-import-export.md, and from the YouTube dump index youtube/inkrip-howtos.md.

Not FlexiPRINT / PrintEXP / AcroRIP. Distinct: PrintEXP (AM software, different RIP), UltraPrint (not AM software), AcroRIP, WellPrintEXP (stored/OEM), FlexiPRINT / FlexiSTARTER (SAi third-party stored). Sidebar related-video chrome on this URL names FlexiPRINT / FabriCAM clips; those are different pages, not this how-to, and were not fetched.
