Selecting an alternate PPD

1Open the Chooser from the Apple menu.

2Click the LaserWriter 8 icon.

3If you are on a network with multiple zones, select the zone in the AppleTalk Zones box where the printer is located.

4Click the printer name you want to use in the Select a PostScript Printer box. (Double-clicking will immediately generate the next few steps.)

5Click Setup. (This button might read Create for first-time setup.)

6Click Select PPD.

7Find the desired PPD in the list and click Select. If the desired PPD is not listed, choose one of the following options:

•Select a PPD for a printer with similar features.

•Select a PPD from another folder.

•Select the generic PPD by clicking Use Generic. The generic PPD allows you to print, but limits your access to printer features.

8In the Setup dialog box, click Select, and then click OK to return to the Chooser.

Note

If you manually select a PPD, an icon might not appear next to the

 

selected printer in the Select a PostScript Printer box. In the

 

Chooser, click Setup, click Printer Info, and then click Update Info to

 

bring up the icon.

 

9 Close the Chooser.

 

Renaming the printer

If you are going to rename the printer, do this before selecting the printer in the Chooser. If you rename the printer after selecting it in the Chooser, you will have to go back into the Chooser and reselect it.

Use the Set Printer Name feature in the HP LaserJet Utility to rename the printer.
