be presented in the User Interface for and device that advertises more than
one port so the user can pick the correct port for their connected printer.
The whole intent was to differentiate between multiple ports on a
device that could host multiple printers. I am concerned we will start
degrading the user experience if we add a whole bunch of ports for the
same printer with slightly different names.</SPAN></FONT></P>
