Adobe PostScript Printer Drivers
The XANTÉ CD-ROM contains the Adobe PSPrinter drivers and
printer PPDs. Before using your printer, install and configure your
printer’s Adobe PostScript printer driver and PPD.
Selecting the Adobe PostScript Printer Driver
Select the driver that best fits your needs and system configuration.
If the chosen driver is not compatible with your system, try one of
the other two drivers.
