Video: Installing a new network printer on MorphOS
'jPV' is a very active MorphOS developer, but with his software projects such as the image processing software RNOEffects or the MUI-based SFTP/FTP(S) client RNOXFER he mostly supports all Amiga systems. As he writes, it had been quite a while since he had dealt with the printer problem under MorphOS. As he had just bought a new printer - a Xerox B230 printer - he had to deal with drivers and network support under MorphOS again and recorded his results in a video.
In it, he explains how to set up the netprinter default settings and add drivers for the new printing system (PPD) and for the old TurboPrint-based system. In order for a printer to be integrated as a network printer under MorphOS, it must currently support PostScript, PCL5, ESC/P-R or SPL2/SPLc.
As 'jPV' explained to us, the new printing system in MorphOS is great because it supports all the new printer features: the printer settings GUI is created according to the provided PPD file, so you can change all the options available in any printer in MorphOS. (dr)
