printer driverA software routine that converts an application program's printing request into the language the printer understands. For example, PostScript printer drivers create a file that is accepted by PostScript printers. HP printer drivers create PCL files and so on. Drivers for Windows-only printers rasterize the pages (RIP function) and send the actual bit patterns to the printer, which are applied to the drum by the laser or LED array. Contrast with printing protocol. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

Because the print settings of the software are embedded right into the application's Print screen, users can print photos without having to select print settings from the printer driver. In addition, Novell iPrint makes Internet printing a reality by allowing users to find the right printer, automatically receive the right printer driver if they don't have it already, and securely send the print job to that printer with the click of a mouse. If your printer driver doesn't show those fields (and many older drivers lack them), you've got to go to the second option--a slightly more complicated method, which, however, gives you more control over the appearance of the watermark. |
