1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
This document describes the features of release 2.0 of the
Impressario software option for IRIX. Impressario is a
visual printing and scanning environment for SGI
workstations. It consists of a PostScript interpreter,
printer drivers, scanner drivers, text processing tools and
the Impressario Developer's Kit.
Note: Packaged with your software is a separate sheet that
contains the Software License Agreement. This
software is provided to you solely under the terms
and conditions of the Software License Agreement.
Please take a few moments to review the Agreement.
The Impressario software provides a visual printing and
scanning environment. It contains drivers for sending print
jobs to a printer connected to an SGI workstation via a
parallel, serial, SCSI, or network connection. All
Impressario printer drivers maintain status information in a
printer object database. The Graphical Scan tool allows you
to view data from a scanner, file, or workstation display
and send the data to a printer, file, or workstation
display. The Scanner installation tool provides a simple
interface for installing and configuring scanners on your
workstation.
The PostScript interpreter is an Adobe Level II CPSI
implementation (version 2015). The PostScript interpreter
uses a node-locked software license. See section 2.4
_P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s for information on license requirements. For
more information on the PostScript interpreter see the
ppppssssrrrriiiipppp((((1111)))) man page.
The Impressario Developer's Kit allows application and
driver developers to create software that fully supports
printing and scanning in a manner that is consistent with
the Impressario architecture.
IMPORTANT: If your printer or scanner is already installed,
you must delete and reinstall it using the printer manager
or scanner manager to take advantage of new features in
Impressario 2.0. See Chapter 2 IIIInnnnssssttttaaaallllllllaaaattttiiiioooonnnn IIIInnnnffffoooorrrrmmmmaaaattttiiiioooonnnn for
details. An exception are printer clients running IRIX 4.*.
IRIX 4.* users should not delete and reinstall existing
printers.
