Installing software for Windows NT
The steps to install the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file for the Color
LaserWriter 12/600 PS (or other Apple printer) on a Windows NT system are
similar to those in the previous section, except that you select Custom Install
(step 7) and click “Windows NT Printer Software.” Make sure the other
checkboxes are deselected, then follow these steps:
1Click Install. Instructions for installing the WIndows NT software appear.
2Click Continue. The Print Manager appears.
3Choose Create Printer from the Print Manager’s Printer menu. The Create Printer dialog
box appears.
4Select Other (at the bottom of the list) in the Driver Combo box.
5 Insert
Printer Disk 3 for Windows
in the floppy disk drive.
6Make sure the correct floppy disk drive is indicated in the Install Driver dialog box and
click OK. A list of printer drivers appears.
7Select the printer driver that corresponds to your printer and click OK.
8 Follow the instructions on the screen, and click Continue and OK to complete the
installation.
Using Apple Print Monitor
You can monitor your print jobs on an Ethernet network with Apple Print
Monitor for Windows. Here are a few points to note:
m Apple Print Monitor for Windows lets print jobs be sent directly to the
printer over the network. Apple Print Monitor is easy to use and makes a
NetWare print server (but not a NetWare file server) unnecessary.
m Apple Print Monitor can be used only on systems with Windows 3.1 or 3.11
(or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 or 3.11).
m Apple Print Monitor coexists with NetWare.
You can also monitor your print jobs over a direct parallel connection with
Apple Print Monitor; see the instructions in the next section. If you want to
use NetWare, see “Initial Novell NetWare Setup,” later in this chapter.
