Creating a Desktop Printer

A desktop printer is a selectable icon that is used to identify the

type and location of an available printer. Depending on the

circumstances, either the PS Desktop Printer Utility (that is in the

FastRIP folder on your hard disk) or the Chooser will be used to

create a desktop printer. It is highly recommended you create a

Desktop Printer for FastRIP

Sending a Print Job

Sending a print job refers to how a print job will be transmitted from a graphics

application to FastRIP

. For example, if a single computer is being used, the print job

would be sent directly to FastRIP

. If a computer network is being used, then the print

job would be sent using the protocol for that network,

such as either AppleTalk or LPR. The Create Desktop list

box is used to select the method by which the print job is

sent to FastRIP

The recommended settings when printing from a single

computer directly to the printer are:

With: FastRIP LW 8.*

Create Desktop.... FastRIP (Direct)

Selecting a PPD File

A second dialog box will open, allowing further settings to be adjusted, such as

selecting the PPD (Postscript Printer Descriptions) file. A proper PPD file is CRITICAL

to having FastRIP

output properly. This file tells the RIP exactly how to print, what

calibration files to use, the size of the printing dot and several other things. To configure

FastRIP

to use the proper PPD file, click the Change button in the PostScript Printer

Description (PPD) file window. PPD files are on your Macintosh HD in the System

Folder>Extensions Folder>Printer Descriptions. There will be a number of PPD files in

this folder - many of which were placed there by the MAC Operating System.
