How do I set up Macintosh Classic printing to make PDFs?

Question

A set-up that works very well, and one that I recommend, is that you maintain the latest Acrobat on the OS X side, and use it to create your PDFs. The executive summary is (1) set up printers in Classic using OS X Acrobat PPDs; (2) print PostScript files; and (3) distill in OS X.
Locate an Acrobat 7 PPD, and copy it to the Classic System Folder's Extensions\Printer Descriptions folder. In OS X, look for ADPDF7.PPD in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj.
Create either or both of (i) an Adobe PDF printer instance using Desktop Printer Utility, or (ii) a Virtual Printer, properly attached to the version 7 PPD file. To date I have not found any difference in these two. Since they're both attached to the same PPD, I would think their behavior would be the same. Note that these steps have you use standard Mac dialogs to navigate to the PPD file you copied earlier from Step 1 -- if you get to the target folder and don't see the PPD, change its type:creator to TEXT:???? or TEXT:ttxt.
Set up some good defaults. In the PostScript Settings section, I recommend Level 3 Only, Binary, and Font inclusion=all (but note that you can also choose selections to make EPS, too. In Printer Specific Options, I usually drop it down to 600. If you created a printer using Apple Desktop Utility and one using Virtual Printer, you need to do these for both.
Print to a file from FrameMaker, using one of these printers. You will find the printing options you are familiar with in the Windows world in the FrameMaker 7.0 section.
Distill the resulting file in Acrobat from OS X.

I set up my new HP Descjet 3054A . I had a problem becouse Apple give me CD as a driver. The thing was that CD wasn good for this printer becouse it was old software:) I had to go to Apple store so the specialist had to download me he wright driver. Becouse I didnt wannet to screw this up . When he downloaded driver I fired it up at house and thingworks perfect. The thing is when you download all the software from HP side . Then you have to connect your MAC to printer via USB . Fallow the instructions it should works. Worked for me. Good Luck!
