Can AppConfig do this?

Hi, I need to prepare an AppConfig file for which I can't seem to find
the proper syntax. Let's assume the objects to be described are
printers, and I must encode some attributes for each of them. I would
be happy with this config file:

printer printer1
printer printer2

printer1 page 72
printer1 type A4

printer2 page 64
printer2 form B5

The catch is, I need the app to detach itself from the number or name
of printers. After reading this file I'd like to have n different hash
variables, each holding one printer's attributes. The number of
printers would vary among instances of the app. I'd need to be able to
iterate over the set of printers, that is, I imagine this set would
have to be represented by a list as per AppConfig.

I am really having trouble understanding AppConfig documentation as to
how to set the proper defines(). Can anybody give me a clue? TIA
