-
- This document describes the features of release 2.2.* of the
- Impressario software for IRIX. Impressario is a visual
- printing and scanning environment for SGI workstations. It
- consists of an optional host-based Adobe PostScript
- interpreter, printer drivers, scanner drivers, text
- processing tools and the Impressario Developer's Kit.
-
- Impressario is distributed with new hardware systems WITHOUT
- the FLEXlm node locked license for the Adobe PostScript
- interpreter. A license must be purchased if you wish to use
- the Adobe PostScript interpreter. Many of the printer
- drivers require the Adobe PostScript interpreter (for
- details see section 2, Installation Information). In
- general, if your printer does not have built-in PostScript
- capability you will need the optional license to use the
- printer with Impressario.
-
- Quick list of what is new in Impressario version 2.2 versus
- version 2.1:
-
- +o A PPD based driver has been added to Impressario. A
- large number of PostScript Printer Description (PPD)
- files are now supplied with Impressario (PPD files are
- also available for most PostScript capable printers
- from the printer vendor's Web site). The result is
- that Impressario supports more printers with built-in
- PostScript capability. See the ppd(1m) man page and
- Section 3, Changes and Additions, in this document for
- details.
-
- +o The HP ScanJet 5P scanner is now supported.
-
- Impressario 2.2.2 is released for IRIX 6.2 systems.
- Impressario 2.2.3 is released for IRIX 6.3 systems.
- Impressario 2.2.4 is released for IRIX 6.4 systems.
- Impressario 2.2.5 is released for IRIX 6.5 systems.
-
- There are no Impressario 2.2.0 or 2.2.1 versions.
-
- All versions of Impressario 2.2.* are functionally
- equivalent (they differ in the compilers used for building
- the product and the MIPS instruction set used).
-
-
- Note: Packaged with your software is a separate sheet that
- contains the Software License Agreement. This
- software is provided to you solely under the terms
- and conditions of the Software License Agreement.

- A more detailed description of Impressario follows:
-
- The Impressario software provides a visual printing and
- scanning environment. It contains drivers for sending print
- jobs to a printer connected to an SGI workstation via a
- parallel, serial, SCSI, or network connection. All
- Impressario printer drivers maintain status information in a
- printer object database. The Graphical Scan tool allows you
- to view data from a scanner, file, or workstation display.
- The Scanner installation tool provides a simple interface
- for installing and configuring scanners on your workstation.
-
- The PostScript interpreter is an Adobe Level II CPSI
- implementation (version 2015). The PostScript interpreter
- is a separate purchase option and uses a node-locked
- software license. Many of the Impressario printer drivers
- require the optional PostScript interpreter. See section 2.4
- _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s for information on license requirements. For
- more information on the PostScript interpreter see the
- ppppssssrrrriiiipppp((((1111)))) man page.
-
- The Impressario Developer's Kit allows application and
- driver developers to create software that fully supports
- printing and scanning in a manner that is consistent with
- the Impressario architecture.
-
- IMPORTANT: If your printer or scanner is already installed,
- you must delete and reinstall it using the printer manager
- or scanner manager to take advantage of new features in this
- latest release of Impressario. See Chapter 2 IIIInnnnssssttttaaaallllllllaaaattttiiiioooonnnn
- IIIInnnnffffoooorrrrmmmmaaaattttiiiioooonnnn for details. An exception are printer clients
- running IRIX 4.*. IRIX 4.* users should not delete and
- reinstall existing printers.
