Problems using QuickDraw GX
This section helps with problems you may encounter using the computer after
you have installed QuickDraw GX.
Your non-Apple printer is no longer available in the Chooser.
Cause: To print on a non-Apple printer with QuickDraw GX installed, you
need a QuickDraw GX driver for that printer. QuickDraw GX installation
provides drivers for Apple printers only.
Solution 1: If you are using a non-Apple PostScript printer, try using the
Apple LaserWriter GX driver. To install the LaserWriter GX printer software,
see the section “QuickDraw GX” in “Printing Software” in Chapter 2.
Solution 2: Contact the manufacturer of the printer to obtain a QuickDraw
GX printer driver for your non-Apple printer.
Solution 3: You can temporarily turn off QuickDraw GX and print using your
previous printer driver. To turn off QuickDraw GX, hold down the Space bar
while you restart your computer. When the Extensions Manager opens, click
the QuickDraw GX extension to remove the checkmark beside it. This
prevents the QuickDraw GX software from loading. Close the Extensions
Manager to resume startup. You should be able to print normally. You won’t
be able to use any QuickDraw GX features until you turn the extension back
on again.
Your fax modem is no longer available in the Chooser.
Cause: To use a fax modem, you need a QuickDraw GX driver for that fax
modem.
Solution 1: If you have an Apple fax modem, contact Apple for a QuickDraw
GX fax modem driver. If you have a non-Apple fax modem, contact the
vendor to obtain a QuickDraw GX driver.
Solution 2: You can temporarily turn off QuickDraw GX and use your
previous fax modem driver. To turn off QuickDraw GX, hold down the Space
bar while you restart your computer. When the Extensions Manager opens,
click the QuickDraw GX extension to remove the X beside it. This prevents
the QuickDraw GX software from loading. Close the Extensions Manager to
resume startup. Your fax modem should work normally. You won’t be able to
use any QuickDraw GX features until you turn the extension back on again.
