Choosing a Printer

Selecting a Printer
Autodetect Printer
LaserWriter 7.0
Printer Driver
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.
The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are
Type using if you enable Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can
then recognize Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most
Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers that have Mac OS printer
drivers for network printing are supported. Without the Autodetect
Printer Type function, the AppleTalk printer type has to be specified
manually in the print server. For Epson InkJets it would be
"EPSONLQ2" and for HP InkJets it would be "DeskWriter". If the print
server does not recognize the connected printer, the default setting
"LaserWriter" will be used as printer type. "LaserWriter" is the
recommended setting to be used with all PostScript printers.
To enable Autodetect Printer Type, log in to your print server's Web
interface and select Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View |
Macintosh | Auto Detect Printer Type | Yes.
See the Help pages in the print server's Web interface for details.
Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:
1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. Click the LaserWriter icon.
3. If your network has more than one zone, click on the zone you want.
(If your network does not have any zones, this box will not appear.)
