Using the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340
The LaserWriter 8.x driver uses printer-specific 4.x PPDs (PostScript Printer
Description files) for information on a printer’s page sizes, printing options,
and media type options. To use the LaserWriter 8.x driver with a Phaser 340
printer, do the following steps. If the printer is busy, it may take some time
to complete this configuration procedure; you may want to do this
procedure when the printer is idle. You only have to configure a
printer once.
