I have been trying to work with desktop printing under MacOS 8.0 with papd.
I can print from most applications except quark and illustrator and the
only difference I can see is when printing to the "live" printer I can get
desktop printing to give correct info and update info and download a list
of fonts. I can not get the correct info from the papd queue. Also DTP
tells me when I Update info in the printer status dialog that I have the
incorrect ppd for this printer (the queue) to chooseit if I say choose it
asks me to locate the ppd on the mac, I pick the correct one and it takes
it but will repeat if I press update button again. I have a ppd called
LaserWriter 16600 PS in /usr/spool/wayne and my
papd.conf is
Wayne:\
:pr=wayne:op=root:pd=/usr/spool/lpd/wayne/LaserWriter\ 16600\ PS:
(I have also tried not specifing and using .ppd in same dir)
Anyone have any Ideas?
