Associating a PPD File with a Print Queue

You may associate a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) with each queue. PPDs are used on the Macintosh when creating printers. If you provide a PPD file for the print queue, Macintosh clients can download and configure the printer for use on their desktops without having a PPD already installed on their machines.

The Access Connect server includes an option that automatically downloads the specified PPD to Macintosh users when they create printers. You should obtain and use PPD files that were created on a Macintosh, since they include additional information such as special icons to deliver the user experience that Macintosh users expect. Specifying a PPD when you set up a queue makes it available for download, but its presence on the server does not affect printing.

To associate a PPD file with a print queue, enter the path to the PPD file in the PPD section of the Print Queue Properties dialog box or use the Browse button to locate the correct PPD

Note: These files must be on a disk accessible by the server.
