Apple Macintosh LC 630 DOS - Manual (Page 67)

The Epson emulator works by first translating the DOS text to a similar
Macintosh font, then interpreting that text into a series of QuickDraw
commands. Some characters in the original DOS character set may not have
exact translations to a Macintosh font. The use of a PostScript font is
recommended in these cases, because the PostScript standard requires no
translation.
About color: Color printing is not supported under Epson emulation. When
printing from the PC to a color or grayscale QuickDraw printer, be sure to
select the Black & White option in the Print dialog box.
If you have a PCL printer, printing is limited to text-only or graphics-only
when printing over an AppleTalk network. To print text only, select your
printer’s driver in the Windows Control Panel. To print graphics only, choose
the LaserJet III driver from the Windows Control Panel. If you need to print
mixed graphics and text, many Windows programs bit-map their text so that
it becomes a graphic. Additionally, PCL printing of text and graphics together
is possible when printing over a Novell network, where a PC print server is
connected to the PCL printer and handles the print job. Select your printer’s
own driver in the Windows Control Panel.
For PostScript printers, use the Apple LaserWriter II NT driver (or another
PostScript driver if the Apple LaserWriter II NT driver is not available) or the
Windows PostScript driver.
IMPORTANT Be sure to make settings in the Mac OS PC Print Spooler that
match the drivers you use in the PC environment, or your printer will not
work correctly. See “Setting Preferences in the PC Print Spooler” for details.
Turning off Background Printing in the Macintosh Chooser may increase the
performance of some printers.
Configuring a printer for Windows: For better performance when you
configure a printer for Windows, select LPT1.DOS instead of LPT as
the port.
