This utility is necessary to download fonts to the printer, manage the printer's hard disk (if attached), display the page count, set/reset the startup page, print the printer's configuration settings (most of which are internal "soft switches"), etcetera. >> Where should I place the folder of PPD files? >> System Folders --> Externsions --> Printer Descriptions All PPD files are stored there, by default, and LaserWriter 8 looks for them there. If you have PPD files for non-Apple printers, such as for a Linotype-Hell Linotronic 200 or 300 imagesetter, these would go there, too. >> Any ideas on how to minimize the noxious smell of nicotine permeating this LW II? >> I completely disassemble affected printers, manually wash all plastic covers with Simple Green or an equivalent solution, and then clean/rinse/disinfect these covers in my dishwasher. Reassemble in reverse order. Don't forget the ozone filter, but I wouldn't treat this filter very aggressively. It is quite fragile. >> I've been wiping is with isopropyl alcohol and the towels are coming up yellow but I need a better "solution". >> See above. >> The mother of my friend Barb who gave the printer to me, died of tobacco-related lung cancer and yet Barb smoked around her kids and still smokes 30 a day.
