I was going to reply to you with more info until I read that line. Have it your way. You're not interested in what I have to say, and you've convinced me that I'm not interested in trying to help you Good luck! If you don't have anything to say, then I'm definitely not interested in hearing what you "have to say". At least nothing you wrote helped me anything. |

ppd, pcl, xps
PCL stands for "Printer Control Language" You can easily search the internet for the other two. Basically, You only install drivers appropriate to your OPS system. Others can be present, and indeed, if you are going to share a printer with other P/C's running a different version of the ops system, perhaps they should be available for download to those other systems. Since you signed in using C++newbie, and then went off in a tizzy, it's doubtful that you will get much further help here. Don't irritate the grey beards, or they will just ignore you. Life is too short. "c++ newbie!" wrote in message ... On 24 Dec., 01:59, "Ken Blake, MVP" wrote: On Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:46:10 -0800 (PST), "c++ newbie!"

I'll share the printer with 2 pc's. Nothing big. Home-network.

Hello C++
Just to give you an idea ... UPD might be short for Universal Printer Driver PCL - faster and used basically for printing from MS application PS - this is better especially for Printers with true postscript, used basically for printing from Adobe application PPD - for MAC printing XPS - uses smaller spool file sizes and can reduce network traffic and improve print performance. However, you can search on internet for further INFO. Cheers, "c++ newbie!" wrote in message ...
