Device metadata is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Windows. For information about the replacement for this functionality, see Driver Package Container Metadata.
The DeviceDescriptionType XML simple type is used to specify a description of the device.
<xs:simpleType name="DeviceDescriptionType">
<xs:restriction
base="xs:string"
>
<xs:minLength
value="1"
/>
<xs:maxLength
value="1024"
/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
Remarks
The strings specified by the DeviceDescription1 and DeviceDescription2 elements are formatted based on the DeviceDescriptionType XML simple type. These strings can contain 1 to 1024 characters.
Note Only printable characters should be used because these strings are used by Devices and Printers to display device descriptions.
