Options 1 and 2 are best if you need to change an existing auto-name configuration, or add a new printer with auto-name enabled, use content based naming, or configure auto-name for all users.  Option 3 is best if you need to enable Win2PDF Pro document security or watermark settings as part of the auto-name settings.
