6.4 Using the Apple Printer Utility for Configuration

6.4.1Using the Apple Printer Utility to Download a Config. Files

When an Apple and FastPort try to establish a printing session, FastPort responds with queries on behalf of the printer. Sometimes the values that respond are not correct. Users can modify these values by using the Apple Printer utility to download config. files. FastPort holds other values not associated with printing that can be changed by modifying the config. files. This section describes when to modify these config. files, and how to download them using the laserwriter utility:

1.From the “Apple” menu, select Chooser.

2.If there is a router, select the appropriate zone for FastPort.

3.Select LaserWriter or any other laserwriter driver.

4.Open Advanced Utilities or the FastPort utilities folder.

5.Click on the icon for one of the config. files. It opens “TeachText.” If not, use an editor that saves in ASCII text.
