This universal printer driver in the Calamus WindowsPack makes available to Calamus all the printer drivers that have been installed under Windows.

The installation is very simple:

1. Make sure that the most up-to-date GDIprn.DLL file is present in the Calamus directory (in other words at the same folder level as CALAMUS.EXE).
2. Open Calamus's Print dialog from the File menu.
3. Click on the line containing the printer name.
4. In the file selector that appears select the printer driver named WinPrint.CDT.
5. Exit the Print dialog and save your Calamus setup.

After the printer driver has been installed, it establishes contact with the GDI (Graphic Devices Interface) of Windows and reads out from the Windows printer pool the parameters of the current Windows printer driver. These parameters will then be displayed also in the Calamus Print dialog. The printer name shows through a prefixed WIN:  that it has been obtained by WinPrint from the Windows printer driver.

You can alter the parameters at any time in various ways:

• Under Windows call the current printer driver (Start > Settings > Printer) and alter the parameters of the current printer driver there. The changes will then be adopted by the Calamus Print dialog.
• Or in the Calamus Print dialog click on the button Settings at top right. The standard Windows Print dialog opens in which you can make the desired changes. When you exit the Windows Print dialog, the parameters will be adopted in the Calamus Print dialog as well.
• Or click on the popups in the Calamus Print dialog. WinPrint offers you the opportunity to alter the values of various parameters there directly as well.
