Creating a desktop printer
|
QuickDraw GX requires you to create desktop printers for printing. Depending on the type of application you are using, printing is as easy as dragging a document onto a desktop printer icon.
Note: If you want to rename the printer listed in the Chooser, do so before creating any
desktop printers. If you rename the printer in the Chooser, any desktop printers
referring to that printer will not work, and must be removed to the Trash and
recreated. See Changing the printer's name from a Macintosh for instructions on using
the LaserWriter Utility to rename the printer.
- Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
- Click the Phaser 600 GX printer driver icon on the left side of the Chooser. A list appears with the printers available on your network. (If the printer driver icon does not appear, Restart your Macintosh, and repeat the printer driver installation procedure; also, check the cable connections on your computer and printer.)
- In the Connect via field's pop-up menu, select your printer's communication method:
- The AppleTalk option is the standard network connection.
- The Servers option is used to select a shared desktop printer; see Setting up a shared printer for details.
- Click on your Phaser 600 printer in the list of printers on the right side of the Chooser.
- Click the Create button to create a desktop printer. An icon of the printer appears on the desktop with the same name as the printer selected in the Chooser.
- Close the Chooser by clicking its close box.
