- the way the driver works, ANYTHING going out via the printer.device will
- be captured. ie: PRT: will work, PAR: wont.
-
- Send TEXT/GRAHPICS to PRT: and you will be right since the GPFax installs
- the GPFAX.DRIVER (printer driver) automatially as needed and when the
- priter.device is opened, the driver is pulled in by the .device
-
- To print with PageStream (or any other program), just tell it you
- are using the PREFERENCES PRINTER
