How to Add a Postscript Printer

To prevent your document from re-formatting when it gets to us, it is ESSENTIAL that you designate a postscript printer as your target or default printer.

The most common Postscript printer is the Apple Laserwriter II NT. You do NOT need an Apple computer to use this printer driver as it is the Postscript printer driver of choice for PC's as well.

That's it! You've now installed a Postcript printer.

It's important to note that even though you don't actually have this printer, you can now set up the document as if it were printing to the Apple Laserwriter II NT.

If desired, you may even (temporarily) select the Apple Laserwriter II NT as your default printer (right-click on it and choose Default Printer -- when you've finished, don't forget to set your regular printer back to the default).

Now, create your document as you normally would.

Sound complicated? Perhaps...if you're new to all this. But the good news is: once you've added a Postscript printer driver to your system, you can always use it when you need to give us a file.
