| Cut Back on Printer Files |
|
|
Earlier versions of Mac OS X installed a huge number of printer support files so you could print to nearly any printer. However, your Mac probably interacts with one or two printers at most. When you're upgrading from Leopard or Tiger to Snow Leopard, click the Customize button on the install screen to access a new option that can really make a difference. Display the Printer Support options and choose Printers Used by This Mac to update only the printer files that exist on your machine. By contrast, choosing Nearby and Popular Printers installs over 600MB of printer description files for common printers and for those found on the network; choosing All Available Printers adds 800MB of printer files.
