When finished adding profiles, click Exit. If the new
options do not appear in the print dialog, restart your system.
Once the ICM options have been added to the PPD, they
will be available to choose at print-time from your applications.
When using PageMaker
PageMaker 6.5 users, don’t forget to copy the edited PPD

PageMaker.

for some other reason wish to remove a selection from the PPD,
select the printer entity who’s PPD you wish to alter and click
Remove ICM/ICC entries from PPD
The section labled “Select type of profile entry” will let
you select which section of the PPD options you would like to
list. The screen shot above shows the Output Profile entries
section and in the window below you can see the entry we just
added.
Select the entries you wish to remove. When done, click
Save.
Distributing the edited PPDs to connected remote
clients
.
The changes made by this utility affect only the “local”
PPDs which are on the server (the system running PowerRIP
ImageSet). It is therefore necessary to distribute the newly
modified PPD to any users which are printing from remote
workstations. The edited PPD can be found in the folder:
windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\
or
winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\
depending on which version of Windows you have
Mac remote users:
For mac clients printing remotely, simply copy the
modified PPD over the old one.
Win 95/98/Me remote users:
For Windows 95/98/Me remote users, copy the modified
PPD to windows\system\. NOTE: The file extension on these
operating systems is SPD instead of PPD. Copy the PPD to the
folder, then copy it again with an extension of “SPD”, overwrit-
ing the old one.
Windows NT 4.0 Remote users:
For Windows NT remote users, copy the modified PPD to
winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\. NOTE: Windows NT
creates a “binary” version of the PPD which must be deleted for
the new options to be visible. Delete the file with the same name
as the PPD but with a “BPD” extension.
Windows 2000 Remote users:
For Windows NT remote users, copy the modified PPD to
winnt\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\. NOTE: Windows
2000 creates a “binary” version of the PPD which must be
deleted for the new options to be visible. Delete the file with the
same name as the PPD but with a “BPD” extension.
Windows XP Remote users:
For Windows NT remote users, copy the modified PPD to
windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\. NOTE: Windows
XP creates a “binary” version of the PPD which must be deleted
for the new options to be visible. Delete the file with the same
name as the PPD but with a “BPD” extension.
