Laserwriter 8.x printer driver
LaserWriter 8.x printer driver
You can use Apple’s LaserWriter driver version 8.x with a Phaser 340 printer.
Some applications, such as Aldus PageMaker 5.x, use the LaserWriter 8.x
driver instead of the Tektronix driver.
Installing the LaserWriter 8.x driver
Note
During installation, the LaserWriter 8.x driver leaves other
versions of the LaserWriter driver intact, so this driver can
co-exist with the Tektronix driver.
Refer to the LaserWriter driver’s documentation,
LaserWriter 8.x Update
Guide
, for instructions on installing the driver.
Using the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340
The LaserWriter 8.x driver uses printer-specific 4.x PPDs (PostScript Printer
Description files) for information on a printer’s page sizes, printing options,
and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340
printer, do the following steps. If the printer is busy, it may take some time
to complete this configuration procedure; you may want to do this
procedure when the printer is idle. You only have to configure a
printer once.
1.
Decompress the
Phaser 340 Apps.sea
archive file on the Macintosh
Driver and Printer Utilities diskette to a folder on your hard disk.
2.
Locate and open the
4.x PPDs Folder
in the folder on your hard
disk containing decompressed files.
