Selecting the printer
After installing the PostScript 3 printer driver, you need to select
the printer.
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
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.
