Selecting the printer when it is connected via a USB connection for Mac OS
9 users
If the printer is connected to your computer via a USB port, you will not be able to select
the printer from the Chooser. You will have to launch the Apple Desktop Printer Utility, then
register the printer as a Desktop Printer. The Desktop Printer Utility is automatically
installed when you install the Adobe PostScript printer driver. Follow the steps below to
select the printer and to create a Desktop Printer.
Note:
When printing via the USB port from a Power Macintosh running Mac 0S 9, the printer must be set
to handle ASCII data. To specify this setting, select Print from the File menu of the application that
you are using, then select the name of the application from the options available in the Print dialog
box. On the setup option page that appears, select ASCII for the data format setting. The actual
setting name varies by application, but is often called Encoding or Data.
1. Open the AdobePS Components folder in your hard disk, then double-click the
Desktop Printer Utility.
2. The New Desktop Printer dialog box appears. Select AdobePS from the With pop-up
menu, click Printer (USB) in the Create Desktop list, then click OK.
3. Click Change in USB Printer Selection.
4. The USB Printer dialog box appears. Select your printer from the list of connected USB
printers, then click OK.
5. Click Auto Setup to select the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file. When a PPD
file is selected, the selected printer name will be displayed under the printer icon. If the
printer name is incorrect, click Change, then select the correct PPD file.
6. After the USB printer and PPD file have been selected, click Create. A warning
message suggesting to save changes to desktop printer appears. Select Save.
7. Select Save to continue. The USB printer icon will be displayed on the desktop.
