Working with desktop printer icons

To create a desktop printer, select the printer using the Chooser. After you
click Create, the icon will appear on your desktop. See “Select a New Printer
Using the Chooser” under “Switching Between Printers,” the previous section
in this chapter.

You may also do the following with desktop printer icons:

m

Throw away the icon.

Drag the icon to the Trash. You can’t throw away a

desktop printer icon while the printer is printing a document. (You can
create another desktop printer icon for that printer whenever you like.)

Note: You must always have at least one printer icon on your desktop. If
you throw away the last icon, it will immediately be created again.

m

Rename the icon.

Rename the icon as you would any other Finder icon.

Click the name to highlight it, then type the new name. This changes the
name of the icon, not the name of the printer.

m

Move the icon.

You may drag the icon anywhere you like. The icon can

remain on the desktop or be placed in a folder.

m

Create an alias for the icon.

You may create an alias for the icon as you would

any Finder icon, by selecting the icon and choosing the Make Alias
command from the File menu. The alias may be moved anywhere on
or off the desktop.
