The Chooser started out as a desk accessory and became a standalone application program as of System 7 Macintosh System 7 . The Chooser allowed users to connect to AppleShare file servers via AppleTalk or TCP IP , enable or disable the network access, and select which printer to use. History The original Macintosh computer did not support networking, but could connect to a variety of printer types via its serial ports. A small desk accessory called Choose Printer allowed the printer driver and serial port to be selected for the connected printer. When Apple introduced the LaserWriter , its very high cost meant that the only cost effective way to use it was shared among a small workgroup computer networking workgroup of Macintoshes. This necessitated the inclusion of AppleTalk , a simple networking implementation which used low cost cabling and the same physical RS 422 serial port hardware. It was a natural extension of Choose Printer to include the ability to select the LaserWriter and also which port was used to connect its network connection. As AppleTalk became useful for other types of networking, such as file sharing, the Choose Printer accessory was renamed to simply Chooser . The Chooser became the main point to add top level configuration options for both networking and printing. Today Starting with Mac OS X , the Chooser was replaced by OS X s integrated networking features in the Macintosh Finder Finder . For the printing functions, they are now found in the separ ... more details

Some parts such as the toner cartridge and input paper tray are interchangeable with the HP LaserJet LaserJet II III . The printer used a proprietary high speed serial interface, and was essentially an early GDI printers WinPrinter although it was not Windows compatible , as it used the Display PostScript DisplayPostscript renderer in NeXTStep rather than a hardware PostScript renderer. Despite this it usually achieved close to its rated speed of 8 ppm, as the NeXTStation had a much faster CPU 25 or 33MHz 68040 and greater memory capacity up to 128MB in Turbo models than the rendering engines of contemporary printers. Because NeXTStep used DisplayPostscript extensively in its windowing system, the postscript rendering path was optimized Citation needed date July 2009 , and printed documents had a true output WYSIWYG corresponding to the screen.
