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](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).
