TOPIC



    The Color StyleWriter Pro specification sheet states that it requires Color QuickDraw support in order to print color. Will it print the eight standard colors supported by standard quickdraw? These eight colors are supported by the ImageWriter II and LQ drivers on the early 68000 based Macintosh computers.

DISCUSSION


    When using a 68000 based Macintosh (non-Power Macintosh) that doesn't support Color QuickDraw all color information is lost and the document prints in black and white. The eight basic colors that are supported on all Macintosh computers when printing to the ImageWriter II and LQ are not supported on the Color StyleWriter Pro when using a 68000 based Macintosh without color QuickDraw.

    A Color StyleWriter Pro connected to a 68000 based Macintosh that is being shared will not print color even if a Color QuickDraw capable Macintosh is sending a color document to the shared printer. In order to print color the system that the Color StyleWriter Pro is physically connected to must also support Color QuickDraw otherwise the documents print in black and white.
