  236.  <p>For Immediate Release</p>
  237. <p>Apple Announces Unified Printing Architecture  for Future Mac OS Releases</p>
  238. <p>QuickDraw GX Printing to be Removed in Favor of "Classic" Printing<br />
  239. Manager Drivers</p>
  240. <p>CUPERTINO, Calif.-- March 3, 1997--Apple Computer, Inc. today announced<br />
  241. plans to unify the dual printing architectures currently supported by the<br />
  242. Mac OS and standardize on the use of "classic" Printing Manager drivers,<br />
  243. such as LaserWriter and StyleWriter, for future Mac OS 7.x  releases. In<br />
  244. a move to simplify users' printing experience, Apple plans to remove the<br />
  245. printing architecture component of QuickDraw GX,  refocus QuickDraw GX as<br />
  246. a graphics solution, and continue to evolve its Printing Manager drivers.</p>
  247. <p>"Today's Mac OS users have access to two different print driver<br />
  248. architectures, along with two printing user interfaces," said Jim Gable,<br />
  249. vice president of AppleSoft marketing. "We believe that standardizing on<br />
  250. Printing Manager drivers will provide the best printing solution going<br />
  251. forward, while we continue to evolve the advanced color and type features<br />
  252. of QuickDraw GX."</p>
  253. <p>Unified Printing Architecture<br />
  254. Beginning with the Mac OS scheduled to be released in July, code-named<br />
  255. Tempo, Apple will provide a unified operating system printing<br />
  256. architecture standardizing on the Printing Manager architecture's<br />
  257. drivers. With the unified printing architecture, QuickDraw GX printer<br />
  258. drivers and QuickDraw GX printing extensions will not be a user option at<br />
  259. installation.</p>
  260. <p>QuickDraw GX<br />
  261. Apple added QuickDraw GX to the Mac OS in 1993, as an extension to<br />
  262. QuickDraw, the graphics display system built into the first Macintosh.<br />
  263. QuickDraw GX was designed to provide additional color, graphics, text,<br />
  264. and printing capabilities. Under the new unified printing architecture<br />
  265. strategy, the printing architecture of QuickDraw GX will be removed and<br />
  266. the technology will be refocused as a graphics solution.</p>
  267. <p>Impact on Developers<br />
  268. In place of the QuickDraw GX 1.1.5 architecture currently available, a<br />
  269. modified system will be delivered as a separate software library. The new<br />
  270. implementation of QuickDraw GX will continue to offer Apple developers<br />
  271. the advantages of superior graphic and typography features for Mac OS.</p>
  272. <p>Developers of QuickDraw GX applications will be required to modify their<br />
  273. applications to use the new shared library to print via standard<br />
  274. "classic" print drivers. Apple is currently working with these developers<br />
  275. to aid them in updating their applications by providing a method that<br />
  276. lets them print their existing and future QuickDraw GX-based documents<br />
  277. via the current "classic" drivers for both PostScript and raster<br />
  278. printers. For more information, a Tech Note will be available at Apple's<br />
  279. developer website: <a href="http://devworld.apple.com/dev/technotes.shtml/" title="http://devworld.apple.com/dev/technotes.shtml/">http://devworld.apple.com/dev/technotes.shtml/</a></p>
  280. <p>Benefits:</p>
  281. <p> - Developers do not need to support and test multiple sets of printer<br />
  282. drivers.</p>
  283. <p> - Developers who use QuickDraw GX features can reach a larger set of<br />
  284. Macintosh users.</p>
  285. <p>Developer Reaction:<br />
  286. "I think this will make life a lot easier for us!"<br />
  287.  -Adil Allawi, Technical Director of Diwan Software (<a href="mailto:Adil@diwan.com">Adil@diwan.com</a>)</p>
  288. <p>"We believe that the graphics component of QuickDraw GX provides<br />
  289. unparalleled capabilities to Apple in the fast-expanding Internet<br />
  290. publishing market, and can swiftly establish Apple as the leader. This<br />
  291. move simplifies the delivery of the sophisticated QuickDraw GX graphics<br />
  292. component to users."<br />
  293.  -Mihail S. Lari, president of Lari Software Inc.<br />
  294. (<a href="mailto:mlari@larisoftware.com">mlari@larisoftware.com</a>)</p>
  295. <p>"PaceWorks was an early champion of focusing QuickDraw GX as a graphics<br />
  296. solution only, and we are therefore very supportive of the Unified<br />
  297. Printing Architecture. The ability to access the superior graphic and<br />
  298. typography features of GX without changing the printing system will be a<br />
  299. benefit for both users and developers. We appreciate the fact that Apple<br />
  300. is so proactive in preserving and improving the superior graphics<br />
  301. capabilities of GX in the future version of its operating system."<br />
  302.  -Phac Le Tuan, President & CEO of PaceWorks, Inc. (<a href="mailto:phac@paceworks.com">phac@paceworks.com</a>)</p>
  303. <p>Impact on Customers<br />
  304. Apple's new unified printing architecture will help provide a simplified<br />
  305. printing procedure for the customer. For applications that work in both<br />
  306. QuickDraw GX and classic printing environments, which describes the vast<br />
  307. majority of Macintosh software today, no changes will be necessary.<br />
  308. Customers wanting to print from QuickDraw GX applications will  have to<br />
  309. obtain updated versions of the application to print via non-QuickDraw GX<br />
  310. Drivers.</p>
  311. <p>Benefits:</p>
  312. <p> - Users can benefit from GX enabled applications without installing GX<br />
  313. system software.</p>
  314. <p> - Users no longer need to decide between two sets of printer drivers,<br />
  315. Classic, or QuickDraw GX.</p>
  316. <p>Apple Computer, Inc., a recognized innovator in the information industry<br />
  317. and leader in multimedia technologies, creates powerful solutions based<br />
  318. on easy-to-use personal computers, servers, peripherals, software,<br />
  319. handheld computers and Internet content. Headquartered in Cupertino,<br />
  320. California, Apple develops, manufactures, licenses and markets solutions,<br />
