Selecting the printer when it is connected via a USB connection for Mac OS
9 users
If the printer is connected to your computer via a USB port, you will not be able to select
the printer from the Chooser. You will have to launch the Apple Desktop Printer Utility, then
register the printer as a Desktop Printer. The Desktop Printer Utility is automatically
installed when you install the Adobe PostScript printer driver. Follow the steps below to
select the printer and to create a Desktop Printer.
Note:
When printing via the USB port from a Power Macintosh running Mac 0S 9, the printer must be set
to handle ASCII data. To specify this setting, select Print from the File menu of the application that
you are using, then select the name of the application from the options available in the Print dialog
box. On the setup option page that appears, select ASCII for the data format setting. The actual
setting name varies by application, but is often called Encoding or Data.
1. Open the AdobePS Components folder in your hard disk, then double-click the
Desktop Printer Utility.
2. The New Desktop Printer dialog box appears. Select AdobePS from the With pop-up
menu, click Printer (USB) in the Create Desktop list, then click OK.
