The steps to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS (or other Apple printer) on a Windows NT system are similar to those in the previous section, except that you select Custom Install (step 7) and click “Windows NT Printer Software.” Make sure the other checkboxes are deselected, then follow these steps:

Click Install. Instructions for installing the WIndows NT software appear. Click Continue. The Print Manager appears.

Choose Create Printer from the Print Manager’s Printer menu. The Create Printer dialog box appears.

Select Other (at the bottom of the list) in the Driver Combo box.

Insert Printer Disk 3 for Windows in the floppy disk drive.

Make sure the correct floppy disk drive is indicated in the Install Driver dialog box and click OK. A list of printer drivers appears.

Select the printer driver that corresponds to your printer and click OK.

Follow the instructions on the screen, and click Continue and OK to complete the installation.

Using Apple Print Monitor

You can monitor your print jobs on an Ethernet network with Apple Print Monitor for Windows. Here are a few points to note:

mApple Print Monitor for Windows lets print jobs be sent directly to the printer over the network. Apple Print Monitor is easy to use and makes a NetWare print server (but not a NetWare file server) unnecessary.

mApple Print Monitor can be used only on systems with Windows 3.1 or 3.11 (or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or 3.11).

mApple Print Monitor coexists with NetWare.

You can also monitor your print jobs over a direct parallel connection with Apple Print Monitor; see the instructions in the next section. If you want to use NetWare, see “Initial Novell NetWare Setup,” later in this chapter.
