Module(s): Layout
You can use Windows drivers or Allplan vector drivers in the Layout module. If you want to print straight from Print Preview or if you want to use the 
Print tool, you must use Windows drivers. The same applies to layouts with "new" element types (OLE objects, bitmap areas, fills with gradients and/or transparency).
As the printer manufacturers offer drivers for all current printers and Window drivers can print all elements created in Allplan, we recommend that you generally use Windows drivers.
Windows drivers
If you use Windows drivers, you can access any printer that has been configured under Windows just as you would from any other Windows program. You can select the output devices straight from Allplan and make printer and document settings.
If you want to print complex, large-format layouts, you can use raster drivers for HP DesignJets and compatible printers.
As the ”new” element types - which require Windows drivers - are becoming more and more popular, Windows drivers are becoming more and more important.
Output channels
If you work with Allplan vector drivers, you can use the output channels defined in the Services application. At least one output channel needs to have been defined in the Services application.
Allplan vector drivers are very useful if you want to use old printers for which Windows drivers are no longer available.
