PSLevel1 PSLevel1 - Printing support in OS X for first-generation LaserWriters that require PostScript Level1 input
PSLevel1 1.1PSLevel1 supports printing in Mac OS X (Jaguar and later) to first-generation LaserWriters that require PostScript Level1 input. The PostScript driver that Apple ships with Mac OS X will generate only Level2 or Level3 output. PSlevel1 works with Ghostscript to convert the Postscript output provided by Mac OS X into a Level1 compatible format. On Mac OS X, printing with PSLevel1 requires Ghostscript (an open-source PostScript interpreter), cups-o-matic (a CUPS filter script), and a foomatic PPD for each supported printer. The PSLevel1 installer for Mac OS X ncludes support for 5 printers: To add a printer, Tiger (OS X 10.4.x) users should open the Printer Setup Utility and click on the Add icon at the top of the Printer List window. A new window will open. In that window, click the Default Browser icon at the top left. Highlight your printer in the section below. Use the "Print Using" pop-up menu near the bottom of the window to select the correct PPD for your printer and click Add. Jaguar (OS X 10.2.x) and Panther (OS X 10.3.x) users should open Print Center (Jaguar) or Printer Setup Utility (Panther), hold down the Option key, and click the Add Printer button in the Print Center toolbar. Within the setup sheet, choose Advanced from the top popup menu; then in the "Device:" popup menu select your printer by name (it should be the last item in the menu list). Finally, select the correct PPD from the model browser and click Add. NOTE: The cups-o-matic filter that comes with this package is the forerunner of the Foomatic-RIP filter. Therefore no benefit will be gained by installing the latest Foomatic-RIP filter. |
