Choosing a Printer
Selecting a Printer The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which versi on
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 ov er any features your
printer might have.
