Desktop printer icon problems
A desktop printer icon appears again as soon as I drag it to the Trash.
You must always have at least one desktop printer icon. If you drag your last
desktop printer icon to the Trash, the computer instantly creates another one
just like it.
If you don’t want to use desktop printers at all and you have System 7.5 or
later, you can use the Extensions Manager control panel to turn off Desktop
PrintMonitor, Desktop Printer Extension, and Desktop Printer Spooler. Or
you can use the Installer’s Custom Remove feature to remove the desktop
printing software, as described in Appendix F.
An X appears over the desktop printer icon.
When a desktop printer is not working, its icon appears with an X over it.
m You may have started the computer with a different startup disk or
temporarily turned off all the software extensions. When you restart the
computer as usual, the icon will return to normal.
m You may have removed the desktop printing software that created the
printer icon. If you meant to do so, you can drag the icon to the Trash. If
not, you can reinstall the software as explained in Chapter 1.
