 +====== GWDG PPD Files ======
 +
 +The PPD files for use with GWDG printers (color, black and white laser printers, and poster printers) are stored on the //samba.gwdg.de// server, you can download the GWDG PPD file here:
 +[[https://wwwuser.gwdguser.de/~unolte/gwdg/GWDGPS.PPD| GWDGPS.PPD File]].\\ \\
 +Alternatively you may connect to the Samba server by chosing the Finder Menu "Go to" and then "Connect to server" (or press the "Apple" key and "k")
 +In the new window, please enter the following URL:
 +
 +**%%smb://samba2.gwdg.de/adobe-ps%%**
 + 
 +{{ :en:services:it_consulting:apple_consulting_center:mac_printing:ppd01.jpg?nolink |}}
 +
 +Confirm by clicking the „Connect“ button.
 +
 +A connection is now established, and a new window opens, asking for authentication. You do not need authentication in order to access the PPD files; simply choose the option "Guest" and click "Connect".
 +
 +{{ :en:services:it_consulting:apple_consulting_center:mac_printing:ppd02.jpg?nolink |}}
 +
 +Now the Volume „adobe-ps“ should mount on your desktop. You will need the file „gwdgps.ppd“ to use the GWDG postscript printers.
 +Copy the file to your hard drive and eject the volume (e.g. via drag and drop to the trash can).
 +
 +{{ :en:services:it_consulting:apple_consulting_center:mac_printing:ppd03.jpg?nolink |}}
 +
 +If you need further PPD files for other printers, you can find them on the volume „adobe-ppd“. This can be mounted in the same way as shown above, with the URL %%smb://samba2.gwdg.de/adobe-ppd%%.\\
 +\\
 +**Important**: For macOS to be able to find the file GWDGPS.ppd, it is essential that it is saved in the /Users/Shared folder.
 +To get to this directory, select "Go to -> Go To Folder" in the Finder menu and enter /User/shared.
