Setting up unique desktop printers
You can create more than one desktop printer of the same physical printer. Each
desktop printer can be set up with different print modes or options and given a
descriptive name. This feature makes it easy to print to a specific printer with the
options you want already selected. In the illustration below, a desktop printer has
been created of a Phaser 600 printer with the Vivid Color color correction and the
Paper media type selections.
1Create a desktop printer; see Creating a desktop printer for instructions.
2Select (highlight) a desktop printer icon. The Printing menu appears in the
menu bar at the top of the Macintosh screen.
3Use the Printer Driver Defaults command in the Printing menu to select
options for desktop printers; see Selecting printing options for details.
4To rename the desktop printer, highlight the icon on the desktop and type a
new name. Renaming a desktop printer has no effect on the printer’s name in
the Chooser.
