Apple Printer Utility Version 2.2
Apple Printer Utility is Now a Custom Install Option only
The Apple Printer Utility is now a custom install option only. If you cannot find the Apple Printer Utility version 2.2 on your system, it probably was not installed.
Printer Support
The Apple Printer Utility program works with all Apple PostScript Level 1, Level 2, and PostScript 3 printers. If this software is used with a non-Apple printer or with a printer developed after this release, a set of generic features will be available. The generic feature set consists of options that are common to most PostScript printers. These features should work with non-Apple printers but are not specifically supported by Apple.
Working with a Large Number of Downloaded Fonts
If you plan on working with a large number of downloaded fonts, you will need to increase the memory allocation for the Apple Printer Utility. To do this, quit the Apple Printer Utility, select its icon and choose Get Info from the File menu. Increase the memory in the Preferred Size box, then close the Get Info window. The amount of memory required grows dynamically as the number of fonts in the printer increase. Increase the Apple Printer Utility's Preferred Size memory by 100K to 500K and try downloading again.
Working with 2-Byte Fonts
Downloading Chinese, Japanese, or Korean fonts is not a supported feature of this software and program errors may occur.
Downloading PostScript Fonts on a QuickDraw GX System With the Apple Printer Utility
When GX is installed, any PostScript fonts (often called Type 1 fonts) in the Fonts folder are converted to GX fonts, and the original PostScript fonts are copied to a new folder called *Archived Type 1 Fonts* which is created in the System Folder. If you want to download these fonts to your printer using the Apple Printer Utility, you must send the fonts in the *Archived Type 1 Fonts* folder, not the GX-converted versions in the Fonts folder. Downloading GX fonts that were not previously Type 1 fonts and converted by GX works correctly.
