QuickDraw GX

Once you install QuickDraw GX, you can get more powerful printing and
font handling, and improve your computer’s color-publishing capabilities.
QuickDraw GX lets you create documents that other QuickDraw GX users
can view and print, even when they don’t have the application program or font
used to create the document.

To get the full benefit of some features described in this section, you’ll need
an application program that takes advantage of QuickDraw GX.

Easier printing

You can work with several printers using printer icons on your desktop. To set
the default printer, choose Set Default Printer from the new Print menu. To
print a document, simply drag the file to the printer icon.

To see the list of documents sent to a printer (the print queue), simply double-
click the printer’s icon. In the print queue window, you can put a document on
hold or remove it from the queue. You can also drag a document directly from
the print queue window to another printer.
