-Using the printer driver with the Adobe PageMaker for Windows NT4.0

If you use the printer under Windows NT4.0 with the Adobe PageMaker, you need to copy the PPD file to the PageMaker directory.

The PPD file is the file with extension ".ppd" under on the directory \PS\WINNT4\ENGLISH\, on the CD-ROM that comes with your printer. The last directory, "ENGLISH" may be substituted by appropriate language name. Copy this file to the PageMaker's directory.

For PageMaker 6 default installation, the directory is "C:\PM6\RSRC\PPD4", and for PageMaker 6.5 default installation, the directory is "C:\PM65\RSRC\USENGLISH\PPD4". The "USENGLISH" may be different, depending on your language selection.

Setting up options

A Click [Start] on the task bar, point to [Settings], and then click [Printers].

The [Printers] window opens.

B Select the icon of the printer you want to use by clicking it.
