EasyCopy has no driver for my PostScript printer. Can I use another driver ?
EasyCopy provides the choice of these generic PostScript drivers:
- Generic PostScript Level 1 (Encapsulated PostScript)
- Generic PostScript Level 1 (Letter, Legal, and ISO A4)
- Generic PostScript Level 1 (B-size and ISO A3)
- Generic PostScript Level 2 (Encapsulated PostScript)
- Generic PostScript Level 2
- Generic PostScript Level 3
You also have the option of installing a PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file yourself. This is decribed in the EasyCopy manual. PPD files are normally distributed together with the printer by the manufacturer.
In some cases you must install the manufacturer's PostScript printer driver on a Windows computer in order to get hand on the PPD file. In other cases you can find it in clear text on the installation media you get with a printer or you can download it from the nmanufacturer's web site.
Warning Some PPD file are made exclusively to work together with a platform specific driver, so there is no guarantee that a PPD file intended for a Windows printer driver will work with EasyCopy on a UNIX platform.
If you find a PPD file for a new printer, and it does not work with EasyCopy, you are encouraged to send it to our technical support; we will then consider to include a modified version that works with EasyCopy in the next release. In the meantime you can get most of what you need by uswing a generic driver.
