Working with Print Device Definitions
If your application does not have the print driver for your printer, NetWare
supplies print device definitions for many common printers. If your print
driver is not included among those provided in your application or in
NetWare, you can use PRINTDEF to create a new print device definition and
to specify the correct control sequences according to your printer’s
documentation.
