Profile files
A Profile file must contain the necessary job parameters for the VIPO job submitted via
lpr. The table below lists the valid job parameters.
The default location for loading and saving the profiles is your user Profiles directory.
However, you may select any other directory on the Client for loading and saving profiles,
including the virtual printers profile directory located in VIPO <server_root>/profiles.
