1 A GDI/Host based printer is a printer
that has little memory and processing power and that relies on
the operating system to do most of the work necessary to print
a page
2 A "Smart" printer is a printer
that has memory and enough processing capacity to do the bulk
of the work needed to print a page. This keeps your computer more
responsive because the operating system does not have to do as
much work. |
