Connecting from Mac OS 9.x
As mentioned before, it is necessary to load “Services For
Macintosh” on the server system (the PC running PowerRIP
ImageSet) to make the shared printer entities available to
Macintoshes on the network (consult the Windows Server
documentation for instructions on how to do this). Once this is
complete, enabling the Mac to print to PowerRIP ImageSet is
very straight-forward, simply copy the proper PPD to the proper
folder on the Mac and use the chooser to select the proper printer
and PPD.
1) Insert the PowerRIP ImageSet CD into the client Mac’s CD
drive and open it.
2) Find the folder named PPD and open it
3) In this folder you will see all the PPDs for the printers and
other output devices supported by PowerRIP ImageSet.
Select the proper PPD(s) and drag it (them) to the Mac’s
Printer Descriptions folder which is inside the Extensions
folder which is in the System Folder (system
folder::extensions::printer descriptions).
For reference, here are the PPD names and their correspond-
ing printer names:
IPEP1270.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus Photo 1270
IPEP1280.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus Photo 1280
IPEP1290.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus Photo 1290
IPEP1520.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus COLOR 1520
IPEP2200.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus Photo 2200
IPEP3000.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus Photo 3000
IPEP7600.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus Pro 7600
IPEP9600.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus Pro 9600
IPEPC80_.PPD = PowerRIP Stylus C80
IPPRPDF_.PPD = PowerRIP PDF
IPPRTIFF.PPD = PowerRIP TIFF
4) Open the chooser and select “LaserWriter” or AdobePS
(Adobe PS used in this example). In the “Select PostScript
Printer” dialog, choose the printer entity you wish to
connect to. In this example we’ll be connecting to the Epson
1290. Please note that the Macintosh sees the printer entity’s
“real” name rather than the “Share Name” that was assigned
at share time.
5) Double-click the selected printer and the Printer Description
Dialog will appear. Click “Select PPD...”
6) Select the appropriate PPD (see file-name list above)
7) Repeat Steps 1 thru 6 to add connections for any additional
printers.
Your System 9.x Mac is now ready to print to PowerRIP
ImageSet.
