Print on the old RISO machines

If you are using an old RISOgraph with OS 9 because the company that makes RISO claims that the old printers will not work with the new drivers, don't upgrade to their new $30,000 printer just yet. Instead, use the old RISO with OS X and the new QuarkXpress.

All I did was open and save the old PPD files as text files and put them in the PPD folder in /Library -> Printers -> PPDs, then add the printer with the Printer Utility application. I had to add it to Quark, too, because Quark doesn't use the OS X PPD folder. It works for what we need it to do, basic brochures.
