- Page_printer abstract "A page printer is a computer printer – and a computer by itself – which processes and prints a whole page at a time (contrary to printers which print line for line, like e.g. line printers and dot-matrix printers). It is connected to one or more PCs, servers, mobile phones or other host computers. Page printers are often called “laser printers” – but even if virtual all laser printers are page printers, other page printing technologies do also exist.The page printer was jointly developed (circa 1900) and patented in 1924 by Sterling Morton and Howard Krum..Necessary for page printing are:A printing engine. memory to process and build up a page. The printer may have its own memory, and/or utilize the host computer’s memory. A page description language (PDL), with commands which tell the printer how to build up the page, and print it. Popular PDLs are PCL (Printer Command Language) from Hewlett-Packard, PostScript from Adobe Systems and PostScript clones, and Windows’ GDI (Graphics Device Interface).A raster image processor (RIP), i.e. a processor to compute the page layout. Sometimes, this processing is done by the host computer. By the other way, big printers used for fast and high-volume network printing, may have powerful processors to serve a lot of users.A printer driver, i.e. a program (a device driver) which converts the computer’s information about the page into a sort of codes which are understandable for the printer with the actual PDL. Printer drivers are included in the operating systems, follow the printers as CDs or DVDs, and/or are downloaded from the printer manufacturer’s home page or from independende web sites.A connection (interface) to the host computer. Popular interfaces today are e.g. USB and Ethernet. Many older printers do also have a parallel (Centroinix) interface.".
