There are a total of four different icons that can appear when selecting a printer using the LaserWriter 8.0 driver.
1. The standard icon resembles a black and white laser printer with a piece of paper containing two ampersands emerging from the printer. This icon is displayed whenever a black and white PostScript printer with a resolution less than or equal to 600 DPI is selected.
2. If a color printer is chosen then the two ampersands are replaced by a piece of paper with a rainbow of colors on it.
3. A small magnifying glass appears whenever the chosen printer has a print resolution exceeding 600 DPI.
4. If a print spooler is chosen, then an icon representing a spool of thread will be displayed.
