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.
