11.1 Synopsis

DragonFly can be used to print to a wide variety of printers, from the oldest impact printer to the latest laser printers, and everything in between, allowing you to produce high quality printed output from the applications you run.

DragonFly can also be configured to act as a print server on a network; in this capacity DragonFly can receive print jobs from a variety of other computers, including other DragonFly computers, Windows® and Mac OS® hosts. DragonFly will ensure that one job at a time is printed, and can keep statistics on which users and machines are doing the most printing, produce ``banner'' pages showing who's printout is who's, and more.
