PostScript Printer Description Files (PPDs)
PPDs, in combination with the LaserWriter driver, access the printer features
and allow the computer to communicate with the printer. An installation
program for the PPDs and other software is provided on the compact disc. Use
the LaserWriter printer driver that comes with the computer. (The LaserWriter
driver is also available from Apple.)
