The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Winn L. Rosch's Printer Bible':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Ten years ago, I would have loved a book like this. At that point new printing technologies were arriving at a furious pace. In order to obtain the best results from your printer, or even just access "new" features such as background shading, you had to delve into documentation that made today's computer manuals look like "Little Golden Books". Maintenance people and computer suppliers had little idea of the requirements for these new machines. Printer drivers were largely unavailable unless you could find a standard emulation. But that was then, and this is now. Rosch's book does contain a lot of interesting, and some helpful, information for the average user. Unfortunately, it also contains a great deal of content on machines that most people will never see anymore. While there are a number of technical support people who may have to deal with such dinosaurs, the text doesn't contain enough information to be really helpful at that level. The result is a work that is dauntingly thick for the personal user, but unreliable for the professional. If you have several hours to devote to it, this book will give you a very solid background with which to purchase a printer. It won't tell you how to print from tray two in Word for Windows. While more generic than "The Underground Guide to Laser Printers" (see reviews), this work is nowhere near as useful. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
