What is DTPrinter ?

When Apple first introduced System 7 at the 1989 Developer's Conference, it included  something called the 'New Print Architecture'.  One of the really cool parts of the NPA were 'Desktop Printers'.  This allowed you to have an icon on your desktop which represented a particular printer.  You could then drag a document onto the particular printer icon, and it would print to that printer.  Very useful when you have multiple Laserwriters, a Fax Modem, Print to Disk utility, etc.

Well, the NPA disappeared, and with it 'Desktop Printers'....In order to correct this MAJOR oversight, I wrote DTPrinter which implements 'Desktop Printers' NOW under System 7.
