<strong>OS</strong> X <strong>Support</strong> <strong>Essentials</strong> <strong>10.8</strong> Exam Preparation Guide<br />
2. PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files are printer driver files<br />
that instruct the CUPS system on how to communicate with<br />
specific printer models.<br />
3. The <strong>Apple</strong> printer drivers are the best source for configuring<br />
<strong>OS</strong> X printers. One method for acquiring printer drivers is to<br />
let the software update system automatically download and<br />
install the appropriate printer drivers. Alternately, you can<br />
manually download and install printer drivers from the <strong>Apple</strong><br />
support website.<br />
4. Assuming the default settings for <strong>OS</strong> X, a standard user can<br />
only configure directly attached or local network printers<br />
from the Print dialog. Also, the appropriate drivers must be<br />
installed prior to the standard user configuring the printer.<br />
5. You can enable printer sharing from the Print & Scan or<br />
Sharing preferences. Note that Windows clients may need<br />
additional drivers to access the Mac computer’s shared<br />
printers via the IPP protocol.<br />
6. You can select a new printer driver for a configured printer in<br />
the Print & Scan preference pane by deleting and then<br />
readding a printer.<br />
7. If all printers appear to be having issues, a quick fix is to reset<br />
the entire printing system by right-clicking or Control-clicking<br />
in the printer list and then choosing “Reset printing system.”<br />
