About printing to non-PostScript language printers
You can print a document on a GDI (Windows) and QuickDraw (Mac OS) non-PostScript
language printer. However, because PostScript is the standard page-description language
for professional publishing, many high-end color and graphics features, such as screen
frequencies or color separations, cannot be reproduced on non-PostScript printers. Most
imported graphics file formats print acceptably. In general, a document printed to a non-
PostScript printer should look the way it appears on-screen when you choose View >
Typical Display.
Some vendors sell software programs that add PostScript-language capability to a
non-PostScript language printer. Check with your software reseller for availability and
compatibility.
Using styles for printing
If you regularly output to different printers or job types, you can automate print jobs by
saving all output settings as printer styles. Using printer styles is a fast, reliable way to print
jobs that require consistently accurate settings for many options in the Print dialog box.
