Installing a Printing Presets File

After you create a printing presets file for your printer module, you need to name the file Presets.xml and put it in the Resources directory of the printer module. The XML file is not localizable so you must put the printing presets file at the top level of the Resources directory; do not put the file in any of the language (.lproj ) sub-directories.

The complete path for your printing presets file must be:

/Library/Printers/vendor/.../vendorPM.plugin/Contents/Resources/Presets.xml

For example, the location of ABC printer company’s printing presets file for the SpiffyPrint model BL2300 printer would be:

/Library/Printers/ABC/SpiffyPrint/BL2300PM.plugin/Contents/Resources/Presets.xml

As long as your file is installed in the correct location, the printing systems uses your printing presets file even if Apple provides a file for your printer module. In other words, your printing presets file takes precedence over a file supplied by Apple.

Apple-supplied printing presets files are located in this directory:

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/PrintCore.framework/Resources/
