If you are currently using Impressario 1.x, you will need to upgrade to
Impressario 2.x when you upgrade to IRIX 6.2. This is because the PostScript
RIP provided with Impressario 1.x is a COFF executable, and COFF executables
are not supported by IRIX 6.2.
Impressario 2.0 and higher is included standard with IRIX 6.2 and higher. In
addition to supporting more PostScript printers, the 2.x releases provide a
Kodak Color Management System interface that allows you to calibrate images
you scan and print.
Note that the PostScript RIP provided with Impressario 2.x is an extra-cost
item not covered by the standard IRIX software license. The PostScript RIP
software is required for printing to non-PostScript printers. If you
currently have a support contract with SGI and already have Impressario 1.x
you can get the RIP license "free" from SGI.
