Enable full printer features on AGFA AccuSet 1000
Authored by: DavidRavenMoon on Apr 19, '04 01:06:45PM

Wow! Just what we needed! We have an Accuset 1400 Plus with built-in Star 400 RIP, and since switching to OS X we have had to set up the image setter as a generic postscript printer. It worked okay with Quark 6, but InDesign wouldn't print properly to it.

The last updated PPD posted by Agfa was to fix a bug when using the imagesetter with Quark 4. Agfa said the bug was with Quark, and of course Quark said it was Agfa. I realized the fact it wouldn't work with OS X meant it was a problem with the PPD file after all.

We have a very large image setter that we use with a Rampage RIP, but we still use the Accuset for small jobs. We were afraid we would have to stop using the Accuset after all our Macs went to OS X, but this has saved the day!

This works great! Thanks!

I've updated the PPDs again to provide the same options that are available using OS9. For some reason many options were disbled using OSX.
