10.4: Use OS X print drivers in Classic
Authored by: Der Kommissar on Aug 02, '05 11:29:12AM

Doesn't work for me. Even reinstalled Classic. No OS X Printers visible in Classic.

I would love this to work! Any hints?

10.4: Use OS X print drivers in Classic

I've noticed the printers are not added to Classic if you have classic open while your adding new printers via Printer Setup Utility. So be sure to stop Classic while adding printers.

When adding printers, I select IP Printer -> Line Printer Daemon LPD. I don't know if other types will work.

10.4: Use OS X print drivers in Classic
Authored by: Grant Symon on Aug 02, '05 04:50:53PM

I use one particular Classic app all the time. In fact, it is my most important app. However, when I select Print, I just get the usual print dialog associated with my printer (an Epson 2100). I don't have any choice of other's via a 'drop-down' menu or anything else. To change printers I still have to use the Chooser.

Obviously I'm missing something. Does this work only for networked printers or for lasers via IP or something?

It assumes you have a PostScript printer driver selected (e.g. LaserWriter 8).
