FAX inf error from InfVerif.exe tool: Validating INF WARNING(2083) in Section [printerpackageinstallation.x86] not referenced or used.

Hello Community,

We validated our FAX driver inf by InfVerif Tool but it shows following warning:

Validating XXX.INF
WARNING(2083) in XXX.INF, line xx: Section [printerpackageinstallation.x86] not referenced or used.

INF is VALID

We have added above section as per below MS link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/print/package-aware-print-drivers-that-do-not-share-files

Please have a look at below sample inf which is similar to my Driver inf file content.

InfVerif Tool generates below warning on above inf validation:

WARNING(2083) in sample.inf, line 42: Section [printerpackageinstallation.x86] not referenced or used.

Please let me know if Package-Aware Print Drivers section is correctly mentioned in this inf or not? Or if we shall update some additional sections also?
