-
- Impressario supports the following b/w laser printers:
-
- Apple LaserWriter IINT, NTX, F, and G
- HP LaserJet IIP, IIP+, III, IIIP
-
- All of the software needed to drive these printers is included with
- Impressario.
-
- Note that the HP's do not need the optional PostScript cartidge.
- Impressario includes a host-based PostScript interpreter to allow printing
- of PostScript documents to non-PostScript printers.
-
- Other PostScript printers are not officially supported, however, if the
- printer behaves EXACTLY as one of the LaserWriters mentioned above,
- it should work. We have seen some problems with QMS for example.
- Due to their ASP technology the printer never returns an "idle" status,
- so Impressario will not send it a print job. Thus, we currently do
- not claim support for these printers
