QuickDraw GX: Cannot Move Desktop Printers off Desktop (2/95)


Is there any way to move desktop printer icons off of the desktop? It appears an alias may be placed in a folder, but the originals, as far as I can determine, must reside on the desktop.

With the current release of QuickDraw GX, there is no way to move a "desktop printer" off the Macintosh Desktop and have it be functional. The QuickDraw GX team is aware of this issue and is looking into changing this in a future version of QuickDraw GX.

Currently, no time line exists for implementing this change if it is implemented.
