RE: Newbie PDE Questions

Hi, Marc:
I am alse playing with sample printer module and pde.
Your email reminded me sth. I need change the printer name from HP Deskjet
xxx to our own printer in RasterDefine.h.
and I put printer module and pde whole directory into
/Library/Printer/SamplePM directory.
plug in the printer usb cable.
clcik printer center add button. Then the sample pcl driver shows up.
so does the printerQuality dialog.

Regards,

Sean
