Windows9X Printing

Introduction to printing

  • Windows generally provides you with a printing environment that is easy to configure, use, and monitor.

  • Windows has installation  wizards for installing a printer, we can view the printer features in its properties, and you can monitor your print job in the print manager.

  • Printer Installation

  • Installing a network  Printer

  • Printer Properties

  • Background Printing

  • Printing a Document

  • The Print Manager

 

Printer installation

  • Windows 9x provides you with a printer installation  wizard that is both easy to used and quick. There are two sorts of printers  installed on a windows 9x  system, a Local Printer and a Network Printer. Local printers  installed on a computer can be shared on a network  if a network has been setup.

Installing a Network Printer

  • A printer must have been previously installed on a network  on another computer and shared on the network before it can be accessed as a shared printer.

  • Security  is not a big concern in windows 9x  and the printer may have been set with an access password  if the print server is windows 9x.

  • Higher levels of security may be set on the printer in other operating systems that offer greater security such as Windows NT  and Windows 2000 .

Printer Properties

  • Printer properties  allow us to view and change some of the setting of our printers  paper settings, and what is eventually printed.

  • Printer properties  is a direct way of resolving any software  problems such as driver  corruption  and some hardware problems such as printer head cleaning

Background Printing

  • If a slow printer is installed on the computer, then windows 9x  can take a snap shot of the print job and place it in an Enhanced Meta File (EMF ) to be converted  in the background to the final RAW  printer specific image ready for printing and does not interfere with other applications  that the printer could be using.

  • The direct conversion to a RAW  image without an EMF  file can be slow and processor intensive which could interfere with other applications .

Printing a Document

  • You can print any documents by choosing the print option in your application.

  • The print option also allows us to decide on the paper orientation, which pages to print in the document, the quality of the printout and the quantity of the printout.

  • Printing a Document

The Print Manager

  • The Print manager  or the print queue allows us to check how many print jobs are in a queue to be printed and to cancel or pause certain print jobs
