- Acorn's printer manager system, '!Printers', is an application (Found on
- App1) which installs itself on the Icon Bar of the desktop like a normal
- RISC OS application. Once loaded, printer definition files of your choice
- can be installed into the printer manager and then options can be saved so
- your choice of printer definitions automatically load when the printer
- manager is started.
-
- Acorn supply a large number of printer definition files (found on App2)
- with RISC OS 3.1. There are a number of printers and printer manufacturers
- that are also supported by Acorn, but we do not have specific printer
- drivers for them.
-
- The table below lists printer types supported by the RISC OS 3.10
- Applications Discs and some additional models. Those printers without a
- specific printer driver supplied with RISC OS 3.10 have the nearest
- equivalent in brackets. It should be noted that various printers will
- require DIP switches to be set for use with our drivers. The ReadMe files in
- each directory contain details of any DIP switch settings that should be
- made.
-
- There are undoubtedly many other printer supported by Acorn drivers even
- though they are not specifically mentioned in this document. If you become
- aware of any printer not mentioned within this document which can be driven
- by Acorn drivers please write with details to the address on the front of
- this application note and we will include the printer in the next update to
- the list. Acorn are continually updating the number of printer definition
- files available. Some printers definition files are not supplied as
- standard but can be requested from the Acorn Support Group address on the
- front of this application note.
-
- A number of printers may support two or maybe three different emulations
- such as LQ 860 and IBM ProPrinter or BubbleJet and LQ 860. In the list
- below we have only documented one of the printer emulation choices.
