The repository lists all uploaded drivers alphabetically in a table with the following information:

Driver Version: This column shows the driver version.

- x86: This section shows OSs for 32-bit systems.
- x64: This section shows OSs for 64-bit systems.
- Citrix: This section shows Citrix drivers. The Citrix Universal Printer line item is a placeholder for the system to look for a Citrix driver that is already installed.
