Printing software

Mac OS 7.6 includes enhancements that make it easier to print and improve
print quality.

Desktop printing

When you install Mac OS 7.6, a desktop printer icon is created for the printer
selected in the Chooser. Desktop printer icons look like this:

Whenever you select a different printer in the Chooser, another desktop
printer icon is created for that printer.

You can quickly print documents from the Finder by dragging the document
icon to a desktop printer icon. (You can still print documents from within
applications by choosing the Print command.)

When you drag a document to a desktop printer, all subsequent documents
are printed on that printer, just as if you’d selected it in the Chooser. You can
also select a printer in the Printing module of the Control Strip.

To check the status of a document that’s printing or waiting to print, open the
icon for the printer the document is being printed on. (Previously, you used
the PrintMonitor application to check printing status.)
