A printer could speak several 'printing languages' and have multiple necessary printer drivers.
e.g. languages: PCL, PS, HPGL/2,...; driver type; universal, specific, generic PS, EFI specialized PS, ...

If multiple drivers are assigned to a printer agent, for each driver a 'virtual printer agent' is automatically created and available on the iprint printer list.
(Obviously each driver needs to have its own driver profile assignment as well)

So there is no need to manually create many printer agents for the same physical printer and maintenance would also be much cleaner.
