How do I create a desktop printer? (HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps)

 

To create a desktop printer on a Macintosh computer...

  1. From the Apple menu, select Chooser and then highlight AdobePS or Laserwriter. (Note that version 8.7 or above is the recommended level for both drivers.) The AdobePS driver is on the HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps Software for Macintosh CD.
  2. Locate your PostScript printer. It should say HP Designjet 10ps (or 20ps) RIP@Computer, where "Computer" is the name of your Macintosh.
  3. The problem is...I can't find my printer on the Chooser.

  4. Click Create. You are prompted to select a PPD (PostScript Printer Description).
  5. Select the PPD for your printer; it is in the Printer Descriptions folder and is called HPDJ10PS.PPD or HPDJ20PS.PPD. Click Select.
  6. Click OK.
