Problems using QuickDraw GX

This section helps with problems you might encounter using the computer

after you have installed QuickDraw GX.

Your non-Apple printer is no longer available in the Chooser.

Problem: You can’t select your non-Apple printer after installing QuickDraw

GX.

Cause: To print on a non-Apple printer with QuickDraw GX installed, you

need a QuickDraw GX driver for that printer. QuickDraw GX installation

provides drivers for Apple printers only.

Solution: If you are using a non-Apple Postscript printer, try using the Apple

LaserWriter GX driver. To install the LaserWriter GX printer software, see

Appendix A (“Using the Custom Install Option”).

Contact the printer vendor to obtain a QuickDraw GX printer driver for your

non-Apple printer.

You can temporarily turn off QuickDraw GX and print using your previous

printer driver. To turn off QuickDraw GX, hold down the Space bar while you

restart your computer. When the Extensions Manager opens, click the

QuickDraw GX extension to remove the check beside it. This prevents the

QuickDraw GX software from loading. Close the Extensions Manager to

resume startup. You should be able to print normally. You won’t be able to use

any QuickDraw GX features until you turn the extension back on again.
