Specifying printer features

The printer ``Features'' page allows you to store information about your printer, including the following:

Printer language

You can access this information through searches. For example, you can search for printers with at least 4MB (4096KB) of memory and the Futura font.

From the ``Printer: printername'' dialog box, select the ``Features'' page.
On this page, specify the information you want to store:
