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 Post- Script 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.

LaserWriter 7.0

Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:
