HP QMS 1660E - Manual (Page 181)

Optional
Interfaces
6-47 Printer Options
» Note: All Macintosh users on a network must use the same
version of the LaserWriter and Laser Prep files to run correctly.
For example, if the network has a mixture of LaserWriter 6.x, 7.x,
and/or 8.x, the printer will experience frequent reinitialization
problems. To check the version number, select the LaserWriter
icon and then hold down the Command key and press the
I key.
The driver version number appears in the Info window on the
second-to-last line. LaserWriter 7.x and 8.x do not require a Laser
Prep file to work correctly with your printer. The Laser Prep
information is located within the LaserWriter driver itself.
6 When the installation is finished, you are prompted to
choose Continue to install additional options from the Cus-
tom installation option or to choose Quit to exit the Installer
program.
» Note: The Easy Install procedure automatically installs the
Version 4.x PPDs but not the Version 3.0 PPDs. If you want to
install them, you can do so now as a Custom installation. Return
to step 4.
7 Back at the hard disk window, open the new PSExec 3. x ƒ
folder and then, inside that, the PS Exec ƒ folder.
8 Open PSInstall to personalize your copy of PS Exec.
9 Check the README file(s) for updates, and see the PS Exec
on-line help for information on using the utility.
LaserWriter 8.x and the 1660 4.1 PPD
The QMS 1660 Print System 4.1 PPD (a printer description file)
allows you to take advantage of printer-features like multiple-resolu-
tion printing and collation that are not available through LaserWriter
8.
x alone.
» Note: Use the 1660 PPD since there is no 1660E PPD. If you have
problems printing with LaserWriter 8.x, reinstall the LaserWriter 7.x
driver that came with your Macintosh (if available), or call the QMS
Customer Response Center (CRC). See appendix A, “QMS
Customer Support,” for a list of telephone numbers.
