Macintosh—PPDs
MINOLTA-QMS developed a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for the
magicolor 7300. This PPD works with the Macintosh Operating System’s
PostScript printer driver (LaserWriter) to provide support for the features on
the magicolor 7300, such as print resolution and media sizes, and optional
features such as duplexing.
