About
When creating PRN files on one
computer but you intend to print the PRN files on another computer, you
MUST use the same printer on both computers. This will require the
installation of the same printer driver on the originating computer. This is
to insure proper printing. Prn files are simply an image of the printer data
for a specified printer. All
printer settings are also saved in the prn files i.e. paper type, resolution
etc..
You can print to a printer even if
the driver is not installed. The path to the printer is required.
Many
printers especially MFD’s support multiple print language modules i.e.
PCL5e, PCL6, PS, UFR (Canon) etc... . These modules are optional, and have to
be installed. Bottom line: insure the targeted printer supports the print
language of the prn file.
For Example
The "Printing" computer
OS = Windows 98
Installed Printer = Canon BJC-6000
The Originating computer (the
computer that creates the PRN file)
OS = Windows XP
Printer driver required to be installed : Canon BJC-6000 (
XP driver not Windows 98 )
**: Must have a postscript printer to print postscript.
