Printer Files
GEOS supports over 70 different printers. Each one
requires its own printer file called a
printer driver. This
program disk comes equipped with a number of printer
drivers.
If you purchase any of the GEOS compatible applications, you will need to
use the procedures described in this section to set up your printer so that you
can print GEOS documents. This section describes how to find the printer
driver you need and how to configure GEOS so that you can use your
printer.
Activating Your Printer
Once you have activated your printer driver it will remain the default printer
driver until the next time you change it (even if you
reboot GEOS). If you
have more than one printer, you can switch printer drivers as often as you
need.
To make a printer driver the default printer driver:
1: Refer to the Printer Drivers chart on page 61 to find the name of the
printer driver you need.
2: Once you have found printer driver you need, copy it from the GEOS
ADDT'L disk onto your GEOS boot disk.
NOTE If necessary, refer to "Copying a File to Another Disk," page 26.
3: Open the GEOS boot disk so that its deskTop is displayed.
NOTE To open a disk, either click on its disk drive icon or hold down
the
key and press a.
4: Choose select printer from the geos menu.
5: A dialog box listing the printer drivers on that disk will appear. Find
the name of the printer driver you copied onto that disk, click on it,
then click
OK. You will be returned to the deskTop.
