limited resources, NEC Technologies, Inc. currently does not have plans to offer updates to this Software.

QuickDraw GX Drivers Macintosh
Due to QDGX's limited acceptance in the Macintosh market and the amount of development effort required to develope
QDGX drivers for older model printers, NECTECH currently does not have plans to offer QDGX drivers for older NEC
printers. However it important to know that these printers canfunction with the existing LaserWriter GX drivers which
Apple ships with System 7.5.x. Apple ships an extension called Desktop Print Monitor. This ships with 7.5.2 operating
system and Apples 8.3 driver and supports drag and drop, and True Type GX fonts.
