10.4: Automate 'print to file' printing from Classic
Isn't this hint completely unnecessary under 10.4? Under 10.4, you don't have to install drivers for your printer in Classic. All you need to do is this: In Classic, go to the Apple menu, then Chooser, and, in the left-hand window, choose LaserWriter8. You need not select anything in the right-hand window. Then print normally from your OS 9 application. The printer that is named at the top of the Print dialog should be your default OS X printer. More on this from Apple's site: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh660.html

Well, this is absolutely guaranteed to work if your system is working correctly, and works for absolutely every Classic application I've tried. Perhaps you need to clean out the older printer drivers - download Printer Setup Repair, go to Classic Mode Management, and delete the contents of the Printer Preferences folder. Then restart Classicc.

I forgot to mention that in the Chooser, you simply click on LaserWriter 8 in the left panel and then close the window by pressing Ctrl-W. You do NOT need to select anything in the right panel. |
