[comp.sys.mac.programmer] querying for color ribbon on ImageWriters

brendan@claris.com (Brendan McCarthy) (01/25/91)

Does anyone know of a way to determine in software (without asking the user)
whether a color ribbon is installed on the ImageWriter?  When imaging, I
need to decide between luminance matching or color mapping when outputting 
to an ImageWriter.

I'd really like to be able to make the decision without adding any user 
interface elements to the Page Setup dialog.
