- I wish to rename the printer listed in the printer setup dialog boxes...
- is this possible??
-
- I have tried changing the name in the [PrinterPorts] and [devices] section
- and the things seemed to work fine until I tried printing to our Apple IIg
- printer. When I went to printer setup and changed the printer orientation
- from Portrait to Landscape, it said it was changing the definition for an
- Apple Laserwriter Plus instead of an Apple Laserwriter which the IIg must
- use. I keep getting Portrait prints...what am I doing wrong?
