PREFERENCES PRINTERS

In an effort to create more printer drivers, we have removed the
Preference printers from the Print disk.  The only preferences
driver that remains is the "Generic" driver which is found on the
WP disk in Devs/Printers directory.  If another Preferences
driver is needed, you must copy that driver from the Devs/
Printers directory on the WorkBench disk to the Devs/Printers
directory on the WP disk.

*PRINTER DRIVERS

Printers whose name begins with an asterisk(*) are limited
support printer drivers.  We have borrowed some printers from
computer stores to enable us to write the drivers for them and
then returned them, so these printers are not "in house" for us
to test possible problems you may have.

POSTSCRIPT PRINTERS

8 new PostScript Printer drivers have been added recently to our
Print disks.  The styles and point sizes for each driver is
listed below:

For PostScript printers AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, and
Helvetica:

Font 1: 11pt Standard              Font 5: 9pt Standard
Font 2: 11pt Italic                Font 6: 9pt Italic
Font 3: 11pt Bold                  Font 7: 11pt Symbol
Font 4: 11pt Bold Italic           Font 8: 17pt Bold

For PostScript printers NewCenturySchoolBook, Palatino, and Times
Roman:

Font 1: 12pt Standard              Font 5: 9pt Standard
Font 2: 12pt Italic                Font 6: 9pt Italic
Font 3: 12pt Bold                  Font 7: 12pt Symbol
Font 4: 12pt Bold Italic           Font 8: 17pt Bold

For PostScript printer ZapfChancery:

Font 1: 11pt MedItalic             Font 5: 11pt Symbol
Font 2: 9pt  MedItalic             Font 6: 12pt MedItalic
Font 3: 5pt  MedItalic             Font 7: 12pt Symbol  
Font 4: 8pt  MedItalic             Font 8: 17pt MedItalic

They have been tested and have produced very satisfactory
results.  For best results when using a PostScript printer
driver, a few basic procedures must be followed:

a) Set the destination inside the Print Program to "Device or    
   File."

b) Type "Ser:" in the requester box and select "Accept."

c) In the "Change Serial" section of Preferences, select 
   9600 Baud, 8 Read Bit, 8 Write Bit, 1 Stop Bit, Parity-None,
   and Handshaking xOn/xOff.

Be sure that you save the selections made.

d) The PScript.ps file must be in the Print: directory.  The file
   is included on the Print disk.  

Many PostScript printers require use of a Null-Modem cable or
adapter when connected through the Serial interface. 

LASERWRITER DRIVERS

There are four Printer drivers for the Laserwriter.  Problems
with the LaserWriter's Serial interface, acknowledged by Apple
Computers, and documented by Adobe are sometimes the cause of
unsatisfactory results.  The problems exist in some
LaserWriter's, while others may have no problems.

The LaserWriter drivers are PostScript drivers and may be used
for any PostScript printer and the other PostScript drivers can
be used for the LaserWriter.

AUGUST 10 PRINT RELEASE

In the August 10 release, problems were introduced into several
of the *limited supported printer drivers.  In this release,
those problems have been corrected.

LASERJET DRIVERS

There have been two LaserJet definitions introduced on this Print
disk. They are the LaserJt Reg,+,500+ Z: Helvetica and Z: Times
