QuickDraw GX: Installing Printing Extensions (3/95)


This article describes installing the QuickDraw GX printing extensions that come with System 7.5 CD-ROMs (both Personal and Multi-User Kits).

In order to use QuickDraw GX printing extensions you must have QuickDraw GX installed. If you are not using QuickDraw GX, you cannot use the printing extensions.

Peirce Software, Inc. in conjunction with Apple Computer, provides a free copy of Peirce Paper Saver and Peirce Watermark. Peirce Paper Saver and Peirce Watermark are QuickDraw GX printing extensions that enhance your printing capabilities when using QuickDraw GX printing and applications that support the new GX printing dialogs. Peirce Paper Saver allows you to print multiple pages on a single sheet of paper. You can print handouts or thumbnail printouts in configurations of 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per printout, saving you paper and hassles when printing out handouts or proofing pages. Peirce Watermark lets you choose between six different text "Watermarks" to print in outline style on top of your pages.
