Setting Up Options for PostScript 3 Printer Driver
To use installed options correctly, first set up the printer driver. If the options are not recognized, you cannot use them, even though they are physically installed.
If your system is Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2 / 2008, changing printer driver settings requires Manage Printers permission. Members of Administrators group have Manage Printers permission by default. When you change printer driver settings, log on with an account that has Manage Printers permission.
If you are using Adobe PageMaker 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0, you have to set up options in Adobe PageMaker's print dialog box.
The following table shows where you can set up a printer driver on each operating system.
The procedure to set up a printer driver varies depending on the operating system.
