5If prompted to select a PPD (PostScript Printer Description), you need to install the proper PPD from the drivers CD. To do this, launch the CD, click Installer, select the appropriate PPD for your printer, and then click Install. Go back to the Chooser and try to create the new printer again.

Note: A PPD describes the printer or printer family. For example, the PPD lists which options are valid for the printer.

6Look for an icon in the Chooser next to the printer name. This means you have successfully set up the new printer and a new desktop printer icon is on your desktop.

7In the Chooser, select the printer you want to use and then close the Chooser window.
