How to install the "Generic Printer" PPD for the Print Booklet setting?

Hi,
This is rather urgent. At my university the iMacs used to have the "Generic Printer" option while building a booklet under the "Print Booklet" > "Print settings" > Setup > PPD: Generic Printer, for a Post Script File so we could select any paper size to generate the .ps file. But they've changed the computers and now no one has itm and academic resources will take one month to install the option while I need to generate a booklet for next week. I've noticed some computers (one or two) have the PPD Generic Printer installed and they've explained to us that is a downloadable driver, but we don't really understand how it works. Can someone please tell me where and how I can install this driver so my InDesign will have the PPD: Generic Printer as an option?
Thank you!

thanks for the reply. I followed ur steps to check the printer queue. I could only copy the URI link (which is:
usb://Canon/LBP3100/LBP3108/LBP3150?serial=0000A29AIAWT), however, i couldn't paste to the same place (if im not getting wrong?).
Please see the screenshot as below. Is everything correct there? I still couldn't print anything.

Where do I find and how to install a generic laserprint ppd ?

I have an old but very good and reliable GCC elite 1212 laser printer that still works. I have updated to OS 10.4.10 and the laserprinters drivers wont install on this OS.
The company (GCC) seems to have disappeared, so i wonder if i can install a generic laserprinter ppd and select the printer through that?
I have the printer on an ethernet network and its a basic B&W laser. Any clever ideas?

Hi Greg
Thank you for that.
Here's what I've done that still doesn't seem to be working:
In printer setup utility I went to add new printer > IP printer > Internet printing Protocol and added in the IP broadcast address. In the 'Print using' drop down, the GCC printer is listed so thats selected.
When i try to print from the printer I have an error saying 'Unable to connect to IPP host: Permission denied.'
Not sure what I've done wrong. I've enabled TCP/IP on the printer. Thanks for your help

How can I get a printer driver for the hp psc 2410 photosmart?

When I tried toadd the printer, there was a message saying that the printer driver for the 2400 series was available, but when I tried to download it, I received an error message saying that I couldn't download it because of a network error. My Macbook is not on a network at the moment. How can I get the driver so I can print?

You can also install this update directly (not through app store):
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907
If you want us to help more, you will need to give us more detailed info. "It didn't work" leaves me wondering exactly what you've done so far.
For example, after clicking Add/+ and selecting the printer you want, have you waited for a full minute for the Mac to find the driver
- OR -
when it starts searching for driver, have you tried going to the pull-down menu where it says "Use: Auto-select," and choosing "Select Printer Software..." to make a manual selection?

Hi,
For ALE/IDOC the medium will be either ALE or EDI but not printer.So it might be wrongly attached.As such there won't be any printer attached to idoc.

There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

I have installed FCE on my macbook and on my desktop. Then I accidentally migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the product serial number. How can I stop this happening?

I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?

You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you.

If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

Can't print in Quark 6.5; missing ppd for my printer

I just purchased the new 20" iMac w/the Intel Core Duo processor, and with it, bought a new printer, scanner, and updated all of my software. This computer replaced my trusty G4 Cube. I am now running strictly OS X (Classic isn't supported on the Intel Macs) and I love it! However, I cannot print from Quark 6.5 to my HP DeskJet 6540.
I called Quark and the tech support guy got me set up so that I can now create pdfs from Quark (It still doesn't work perfectly, but maybe it'll fix itself when Quark 7 is released. Quark 7, I'm told, should run natively on the Intel Mac.) I mentioned that I couldn't print from Quark. I haven't been able to test my computer out too much, since I just got it, but I have printed from Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 and off the internet (through Safari) with no problems. The tech support guy from Quark told me to check in a particular folder that lists all the PPDs (Macintosh HD--Library--Printers--PPDs--Contents--Resources--en.lproj) and there were lots of printers listed, but no HP DeskJets. He said that I need to get the PPD for my printer and place it in that folder.
Well, the next step was to call HP. I had researched their site beforehand, and know that there are no driver updates/downloads on their site for the Intel Mac--all of that came preinstalled with OS X.4. The tech support guy from HP had me try to add a new printer (something about a Gimp printer, I believe a 550 series??) and that didn't work. (Coincidentally, the DeskJet 550 PPD is not listed in my PPD folder either---no DeskJets are listed!!) I asked if HP had created a PPD file for my printer, and they said that they hadn't created anything that is compatible with the Intel Macs. He said that Apple called HP up, asked for their info, and that Apple created what they needed as far as printer drivers go.
So....I called Apple tech support. I explained all that I just mentioned above, and she put me on hold for a few minutes while she spoke with I guess a more experienced technician. Eventually she told me she didn't know how to help me and that I should try posting my situation here.
Is there anything I can do short of buying a new printer--one that's listed in the PPD folder? Thanks in advance!
20" iMac w/Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2GB RAM, 500 GB HD, the works!

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked around, but didn't see that option anywhere in the printer dialog box and corresponding menus, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. It doesn't even give me the list of PPDs in the Quark printing menu (they're all checked as being on in the PPD manager). That box is grayed out--I can't even click on it to scroll through the list, if there even is one.
Since posting this problem, I've spoken with Apple and HP again. The Apple tech said that they don't deal with PPDs at all. HP said they never created a PPD for this printer. The only 2 PPD drivers he could find were for laser printers. I don't need a large laser printer, nor can I afford one. Maybe I'll just have to get rid of this printer (which is brand new) and find a comparable one that's not an HP and will work with all of my software.
HP also suggested holding on until August when OS 10.5 is supposed to be released. Apparently I'm not the only one with printing problems. HP said that 10.5 should hopefully fix many of the printing problems people have been having.
