2.2.4.1.1 Server Initialize Printer Request (INIT_PRINTER_REQ)

The INIT_PRINTER_REQ message MUST be the first message, sent from the server to the client, in the Printer Driver Interface. This message establishes a link between a particular client-side printer and the dynamic virtual channel connection. After this link is established, any messages coming on the same channel implicitly refer to the same client printer driver.
