Printing Tools Installation Guide For Mac OS X 10.
Introduction This document is a guide to installing MacDermid ColorSpan printing tools and adding a printer to Mac OS X. This document covers MacOS X 10.2.x. Users are encouraged to upgrade to version 10.2.6 (or newer) to take advantage of improvements to OS X print services. This document covers Printing Tools 9.70. Older versions of printing tools may vary somewhat from the descriptions and images depicted in this document. Installing Printing Tools for OS X 1.
1. Launch System Preferences. 2. Click “Network“ 3. Configure the “Show” menu to display “Built-in Ethernet” (or another Ethernet connection, if your Macintosh is so equipped). 4. Click the tab for AppleTalk. 5. Check the box for “Make AppleTalk Active”. 6. Click the “Apply Now” button. 7. Quit System Preferences. Enabling IP Printing IP Printing requires a valid TCP/IP configuration on your Macintosh workstation and on your ColorSpan Legacy print server.
In the list of PPDs, there will appear to be some duplicate entries. For example, “DM 4000 Metric” appears twice. Due to a software bug in the Printing Tools Installer, both PostScript Level 2 and Level 3 PPDs are being installed, regardless of what is selected during the installation process. This issue will be corrected in a subsequent release of the printing tools.
Installing Printing Tools for Classic If you print from Classic applications under OS X, it is recommended that you install the printing tools for Classic as well. If you have applications that make their own PPD configurations, such as QuarkXPress 4 and newer, it is required. 1. Insert the ColorSpan Legacy Printing Tools CD. 2. Double-click the CD icon. 3. Double-click the “OS 9” folder. 4. Double-click the “Install” icon to launch the installer. 5.
5. A window will appear asking you to select a PostScript Printer Description file. The PPD provides information about the printer to the printing system and applications. ○ •Some PPDs include “CMRIP” in the fi le name. Files with “CMRIP” are for use with ColorSpan Legacy RIPStation print servers and the ColorMark Legacy Personal Software RIP, which have a smaller number of fonts built-in.
