- Summary:
-
- The Driver field of the Printer Properties dialog box in Print Manager
- lists a number of PostScript printers. The names found in this list
- are taken from each printer's .PPD file. Each .PPD file contains both
- a model name and a nickname field; Windows NT displays the value in
- the nickname field, per the .PPD specification. This can lead to some
- confusion if you don't recognize the nickname. For example, most Apple
- LaserWriter models have nicknames that start with the word "Apple" and
- thus appear together in the "A" section of the Driver list. However,
- the Apple LaserWriter Personal NT printer has the official nickname
- "LaserWriter Personal NT v51.8" and resides in the "L" section of the
- driver list.
