Communicating with the Printer

The bundled printer driver can be applied to all applications under Windows 2000/ 2003/ XP/ Vista/ Windows 7, supporting 32-bit/ 64-bit operation systems. With this driver you can operate any popular Windows software applications including Bartender editing software or MS Word, etc., to print to this printer.

The screens included for these steps are taken from Windows XP; steps in other versions of operation systems are similar.

Note:

We strongly recommend that you use the Seagull Driver Wizard instead of the Microsoft Windows Add Printer Wizard when installing and updating your Drivers by Seagull.

(Even though the "Add Printer Wizard" is from Microsoft, it too easily performs a number of tasks incorrectly when updating existing drivers. It also badly handles the situation where a printer driver is already in use by a Windows application.)
