Turning off or removing the desktop printing software
You can remove an individual desktop printer icon by dragging it into the
trash. If you have only one desktop printer, you can’t get rid of the icon by
dragging it to the Trash. (The icon will reappear if you do.)
Turning off the Desktop PrintMonitor
If you don’t want to use desktop printers, you can turn off the Desktop
PrintMonitor using the Extensions Manager (available on Mac OS versions
7.5 or later).
To turn off the Desktop PrintMonitor:
1 Open the Extensions Manager control panel in the Control Panels folder.
2 Click to deselect (uncheck) Desktop PrintMonitor, Desktop Printer Menu, Desktop Printer
Spooler, and Desktop Printer Extension in the panel.
3 Click the close box to close the control panel.
4 Restart your computer.
Removing the desktop printing software
The desktop printing software uses both the Desktop PrintMonitor and the
PrintMonitor software. The Desktop PrintMonitor requires 200-400K bytes
more free system memory in addition to the memory required by the
PrintMonitor. If you don’t want to use the desktop printing software, you can
remove it.
To remove desktop printing software:
1 Restart your computer with the extensions off by holding down the Shift key and
choosing Restart from the Special menu.
Hold the Shift key down until the message “Extensions off” appears or until
your normal desktop appears.
