Printing from OS9 to OS10 ...

Post by rlesperance »

Hello,

It's been a long time ... but happily you are still there. A merciful thank you.

In SheepShaver, to print from OS9, I use the PrintToPDF app that prints a PDF document into an OS10 folder. Printing is then automated using Hazel with an Automator workflow whenever a new document is added to the OS9 specified folder.

My problem is that I want to use some preset printing prefs that I usually can select in OS10. How can I do that ?

Regards.

Create a printer with the presets as your defaults, and then in your automator workflow, print with that printer.

Or do you mean how can you change your print presets for PrintToPDF?

Hello adespoton,

Creating a new printer with the desired print prefs and changing the printer in the workflow just did it. Thank you so much.

Regards.
