On Windows 2000 and later versions, three classes of printer devices are usually installed. One of these classes of printer devices is the Unidriver-based printer driver which was introduced by Microsoft Corp. to allow a simpler and easier way of producing and modifying safe printer drivers. The driver uses the GPD file extension that identifies and explains all the capabilities of the printer. The GPD file extension is also used by the VISUAL EPR as an Input Data for PARAMS.EXE, CRISP (Geotechnical Modelling Software) or "Front Squasher" (CRISPSQ) as an output file, Gameplay data file and Grid as a Parameter Definition file. The CRISP 'Front Squasher' output file gets a GPR file and subsequently creates the GPD file.
