Macintosh: Third-Party Drivers for High-Speed Printers




I have HP RuggedWriter 480 printers and Printronics P300 High-speed line
printers. I want to use the Macintosh with a 4D database to print labels in
mass volumes at high speed using the printer-resident font characters.

Currently, I have drivers from GDT (of Canada) that let me print to these
printers from the Macintosh, but at very low speed.

1) Do you know of any drivers that work on these high-speed printers using
the printer-resident font characters?

2) Do you know of any other printer and drivers that will do the job?

We know of three possible sources: GDT Softworks, Orange Micro, and Insight.
Most support fonts built into printers, but none lists your specific printers
in their product literature. Perhaps you should contact the printer
manufacturers to discuss their specific requirements.

For more information, search the Tech Info Library under: "GDT Softworks",
"Orange Micro", and "Insight".
