Setting up a printer
InDesign supports printing to both PostScript® (Level 2 and 3) and non-PostScript language printers, using most
current printer drivers. When you print to a PostScript printer, InDesign uses information from a PostScript Printer
Description (PPD) file to determine which settings to display in the Print dialog box.
Follow these basic steps when setting up a printer:
• Install the latest printer driver for your output device. See your operating system documentation for instructions.
• For PostScript printing, select a PPD file when you set up your printer.
