baudRate = <number>
This key defines the printer's communication rate, for those printers which communicate via a serial connection.
device = <device name>
This key defines the device name of the installed print device.
device = Apple LaserWriter Plus v38.0 (PostScript)
driver = <file name>
This key defines the print driver used for the installed print device.
driver = PostScript driver
handshake = <hardware, software>
This key indicates the type of handshake used by the printer for those printers which communciate via a serial connection. It must be one of the values specified above.
handshake = hardware handshake = software
parity = <none, even, odd, mark, space>
This key indicates the printer's parity type for those printers which communicate via a serial connection. It must be one of the values shown above.
parity = none parity = even
port = <port name>
This key specifies the port to which the device is attached. This must be one of the values shown in the following examples.
port = LPT1 port = LPT2 port = LPT3
port = COM1 port = COM2 port = COM3 port = COM4
port = FILE
stopBits = <number>
This key specifies the number of stop bits used by the printer for those printers which communciate via a serial connection. This should be 1, 1.5, or 2.
stopBits = 1 stopBits = 1.5 stopBits = 2
type = <number>
This key defines the type of device this installed print device is. The number indicates the PrinterDriverType as defined in spool.goh .
type = 0 ; PDT_PRINTER type = 3 ; PDT_CAMERA
wordLength = <number>
This key indicates the communication word length for those printers which communciate via a serial connection. This should be a number between five and eight inclusive.
