Installing Application-Specific Printer Files
If you plan to print from Aldus PageMaker, Aldus FreeHand, Aldus
PrePrint, Adobe Separator, or QuarkXPress, you’ll also want to install
the latest printer description file (PPD, PDX, or PDF) for your particu-
lar software. You can probably print without this file, but you may not
be able to access all of your printer’s features, and you may get an
error message telling you to change the printer name.

Note:
The application (PageMaker, FreeHand, PrePrint, Separator, or
QuarkXPress) should be installed before you install the printer
description file(s).
