Suggestions
Use a printer that is appropriate for your needs.
-
Make sure laser, thermal transfer, and other advanced
printers have NetWare print device definition (a .PDF
file) available prior to purchase, unless one comes
with the printer.
-
If printing is frequent and if time and
quality are paramount, a fast laser printer may
be necessary.
-
If you use PostScript or another high-level PDL
for the majority of your print jobs, the
speed of the printer's formatter becomes more important.
-
If the mix of your print jobs contains
mostly plain text, the speed of the print
engine (as described in pages per second or
characters per second) is of primary importance.
-
Advanced printers, such as laser and thermal transfer
printers, may require complex drivers to handle printer
control information. Since software is now available to
drive most of these printers, there should be
no problem.
