original unmodified form. The only thing I ask for is to send me a mail and
tell me, what you think about PrintSEL.
The above is generally known as mailware.
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.
PrintSEL V1.1 requires KICKSTART & WORKBENCH 2.0 or higher!
2. Installation
---------------
PrintSEL is very easy to install, just copy it together with its icon
wherever you want, 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 (max 5)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 little (max 200x200) 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.
4. The Tooltypes
----------------
The following tooltypes can be set:
CX_POPUP=YES or NO -> Standard CX-Tooltype
CX_PRIORITY -> Standard CX-Tooltype
CX_POPKEY -> Standard CX-Tooltype

5. About the driverpresets
--------------------------
This driverpresets specified in the printerXexec-tooltype must be the complete
path and name of Preset, saved with the Prefs-Program "Printer" by calling
the "Save as ..." menuitem.
6. DISCLAIMER
