Selecting an alternate PPD
1 Open the Chooser (OS 9) or Print Center (OS X) on the Apple menu.
2 Click the LaserWriter 8 icon.
3 If you are on a network with multiple zones, select the zone in the AppleTalk Zones box
where the printer is located.
4 Click the printer name you want to use in the Select a PostScript Printer box. (Double-
clicking will immediately generate the next few steps.)
5 Click Setup. (This button might read Create for first-time setup.)
6 Click Select PPD.
7 Find the PPD that you want in the list and click Select. If the PPD is not listed, select one of
the following options:
• Select a PPD for a printer with similar features.
• Select a PPD in another folder.
• Select the generic PPD by clicking Use Generic. The generic PPD allows you to print, but
limits your access to printer features.
8 In the Setup dialog box, click Select, and then click OK to return to the Chooser or Print
Center.
Note If you manually select a PPD, an icon might not appear next to the selected printer in the Select
a PostScript Printer box. In the Chooser or Print Center, click Setup, click Printer Info, and
then click Update Info to show the icon.
9 Close the Chooser or Print Center.
Renaming the printer
If you are going to rename the printer, do this before selecting the printer in the Chooser (OS 9)
or Print Center (OS X). If you rename the printer after selecting it in the Chooser or Print
Center, you will have to go back to the Chooser or Print Center and reselect it.
Use the Set Printer Name feature in the HP LaserJet Utility to rename the printer.
