This is because you have installed a 'driver' for your printer, that all programs can utilize. Shouldn't everything be this easy?
Now, with Solustan's LinkMotion technology, it is. - You no longer have to worry about learning to use yet another piece of software. Are you comfortable with Corel DRAW, or perhaps a well-known CAD program? Wherever you are comfortable creating your designs, your work ends there. LinkMotion works with virtually any design program, so you can output your job straight from there!
