Setting up a LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 550 printer

 

The LaserWriter 8.x driver uses printer-specific PPDs (PostScript Printer 
Description files) for information on a printer’s page sizes, printing options, 
and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 550 
printer, do the following steps depending on the version of the driver you 
are using.  If the printer is busy, it may take some time to complete this 
configuration procedure; you may want to do this procedure when the 
printer is idle.  You only have to configure a printer once.
