Changing the Print Center print queue in Mac OS X 10.2

In Mac OS X 10.2 you can change the configuration of an existing print queue. This includes tasks such as:
  • Associating a different PPD with PostScript printers
  • Renaming the queue
  • Configuring installable options
For example, to associate a different PPD with a PostScript printer queue:

  1. Open Print Center (/Applications/Utilities/).
  2. Select the printer from the Printer List.
  3. Choose Show Info from the Printers menu.
  4. Choose PPD from the pop-up menu in the Printer Info window.
  5. Choose a new PPD from the Printer Model pop-up menu.

By using the same procedure to access the Printer Info window, you may change the name of the print queue, enter a description of the printer's location, and configure the printer's installable options (such as optional paper cassettes, memory configuration, or a duplex printing unit).

Tip: To modify a print queue in Mac OS X 10.0 to 10.1.5, you must delete the queue from Print Center then select the preferred settings (as applicable for the version of the operating system) when creating the new queue.
