Hello 

I am a prepress operator working in Windows 2000 with Quark express. A number of strange things have been happening since I went to windows 2000. just for the record I am using PC Mac Lan and printing to Appletalk printers. 

1. I can not change the name of the printer it is greyed out during install. 

2. When I open a clients file in Quark and go to print it I set the paper size in the print properties and it doesn't hold, yet if I create a new document it hold fine. 

3. Why can't I designate a place for PS files to go to rather than a dialog box with no Browse button. It simply saves in the last folder where I was. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Item 3: that's just what Windows 2000 does. The "print to file" box
has no browse button. You can save anywhere by typing the full path
name.

You absolutely don't need PC MacLan with Windows 2000. AppleTalk printer support is built into Windows 2000 (but not XP). The box "greyout" may have something to do with how PC MacLan is interfacing with the driver. By the way, what are you installing the printer driver instance with? 

With regards to problems with Quark XPress, you might be better off posing this aspect of your question on Quark's web site since it would be Quark XPress's code which controls the "stickiness" of a page size. 

With regards to the destination for the PostScript file, Aandi's answer is correct. Complain to Microsoft on this one!

You state that I do not need PC MacLan. How so? I believe that is only with 2000 server not Professional which is what I am using. Can you expound on it.

Yes, ALL versions of Windows 2000, including "professional" (i.e., the desktop flavour), contain support for AppleTalk printing. You do need to add AppleTalk support to your network protocols (not part of the standard Windows 2000 configuration) and then for each printer, create a new port of the type "AppleTalk".

Followed your advice. This works well so far. Was able to change the greyed out name. Now if Quark would get back to me on thew page size issue. 

Thanks
