Technical information

6If you want, you can repeat steps 4 and 5 to create desktop printer icons for other
printers.
7Close the Chooser.
The new desktop printer icon for the printer appears on the desktop.
Note: If the desktop printer icon has a generic icon, then the Chooser was
closed without clicking the Create button. Open the Chooser, re-select the
printer, and click Create. A generic icon can also appear if the printer
software is not installed correctly. Reinstall the software and choose the
printer again.
You can drag this icon to any position you want on your desktop or place it in
a folder on your startup disk.
The last desktop printer created becomes the default printer. Your documents
will automatically be printed on the default printer. For more information
about switching between available printers, see “Switching Between Printers,”
in Chapter 6.
If this is your only desktop printer, you can’t get rid of the icon by dragging it
to the Trash. (The icon will reappear if you do.) If you don’t want to use
desktop printer icons, see “Turning Off or Removing the Desktop Printing
Software,” in Chapter 6, for more information.

Setting Up the Printer for Mac OS Users
A generic icon means the Create button in the Chooser wasn’t
clicked or the printer software is not installed correctly.
