Printing and Faxing


Mac OS X has no equivalent for the Chooser, the tool you opened from the Mac OS 9 Apple menu to choose which printer you wanted to use (see Chapter 14). Printer selection is built into Print dialogs, and you can select from all available printers from a pop-up menu. In addition, printer sharing lets you use a printer connected to another Mac on your network, one connected to an AirPort base station, or even one shared by a PC running Windows.

Panther’s built-in faxing is another feature you can access from Print dialogs. Click the Fax button to choose a recipient and send a fax. Your Mac can also receive faxes, storing them as PDF files, and printing them automatically or sending them by e-mail to the address of your choice.

Mac OS X also lets you create PDF format documents from any Print dialog. Click the Save as PDF button to create a PDF document, which retains the layout and graphics of your original document. You can then share this document with users on any platform.

Panther’s Preview, an application used for viewing graphics and PDF documents, is the fastest PDF viewer on any platform. You’ll find that if you work with PDF files often, Preview saves you lots of time.
