Choosing a Printer
Selecting a Printer
The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which version
of LaserWriter printer driver you are using.
•
The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard
PostScript driver, and cannot take advantage of any printer
specific features.
•
The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer
descriptions. This gives you full control over any features your
printer might have.
Note:
❏
The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you
are using if you enable the ’Autodetect Printer Type’-function.
The print server can then recognize two types of printers, besides
the default LaserWriter printer: EpsonLQ2 and DeskWriter. To
enable the ’Autodetect Printer Type’-function, log in to your
print server’s web interface and choose:
Admin | Network
Settings | Detailed View | Macintosh | AutoDetectPrinterType |
YES
. See the print server’s web interface
Help
pages for details.
