 After adding the driver profile needs to be created. Please select Add... button. A window with driver selection will appear. User can create many profiles for one driver: one for color printing, one for b/w, etc.

-After creating the profile you can make it as default and set the output path. Both file and device output is supported. So for printing to file you can set RAM:output_print. For network printing please use NETPAR: and for usb printers please use USBPAR:. Usb printing needs USBPAR mountlist copied from Storage/DosDrivers to the DEVS:DosDrivers or add mount USBPAR: somewhere in the S:user-startup file.

For non-Postscript printers internal Ghostscript 8.70 processing is done. This can take some seconds so Postscript printers are preffered.

In most cases Postscript printers has also additional PPD drivers which use various filters (for example Postscript printer with PCL5 support may have also PPD file with PCL5 filter). PPD files just for Postscript printing are preffered.
