Q: How can I change the voice alerts for my printer?

A: In versions prior to Release 3, the voice alerts can be found in the directory /usr/lib/NextPrinter.  In Release 3 and later, they are located in /usr/lib/NextPrinter/language.lproj, where language is the name of language version of the sound you want to change.  There are four of them:

manualfeed.snd "Your printer is waiting for paper"
nopaper.snd "Your printer is out of paper"
printeropen.snd "Your printer cover is open"
paperjam.snd "Paper is jammed in your printer"

These are ordinary CODEC-based sound files.  One can replace them with one's
own recording.   (The execute bit need not be on.)
