LaserWriter Select 360: Using MicroPrint on Other Printers 5/95


I noticed that Apple is selling MicroPrint for the LaserWriter Select 360 printer. Can this software be used with other LocalTalk printers? How about the LaserWriter Bridge software that is bundled with the LaserWriter Select 360?

MicroPrint is being sold by Apple, and is designed for the LaserWriter Select 360. This version of is a slightly modified version of a product being sold by Sonic Systems. Apple's version of MicroPrint was not tested with other Apple LaserWriter printers. It might work with other LocalTalk printers, but Apple has not tested it with any printers other than the LaserWriter Select 360.

Apple also bundles the LaserWriter Bridge software with every LaserWriter Select 360 being sold. This software is also slightly modified from the version Sonic Systems sells. Every copy of the LaserWriter Bridge software is licensed by Apple from Sonic Systems. It is licensed for only the LaserWriter Select 360, so legally it cannot be used with other LocalTalk printers.
