- 1. Introduction
- ---------------
-
- This commodity helps you managing the work with different
- printers by popping up a GUI that lets you select the printer
- you want to be active by pressing this printer´s gadget.
-
- Nearly everything can be chosen by the icon´s tooltypes.

- 2. Installation
- ---------------
-
- PrintSEL is very easy to install, just copy it together with its icon
- wherever you want it, i.e. to WBStartUp.

- 3. How to use it
- ----------------
-
- PrintSEL uses WB´s Icontooltypes, that´s why it can be only run from
- workbench.
- In the tooltypes you can set all information, PrintSEL needs to popup.
- This are the window-coordinates, the number of the printers you want
- to handle, the printer´s names and printerdrivers and at least the
- font and fontsize. You can although set the standard commodity-
- tooltypes. When you start the program, it pops up (or not if you set
- CX_POPUP=NO) a window with a gadget for every printer you selected in
- the tooltypes. The pressed gadget shows the active printer. If you
- want to print on another printer you only have to click its gadget and
- switch your Parallelportswitch to the right position.
-
- PrintSEL although behaves like every normal Commodity. You can show
- and hide the window, etc.
-
