We generally make our page size, in the print dialog box, square (12' x 12'). We too have had issues, and still do someties, with page orientation. This works fine and we don't use the Hot Folder mode unless our PS job file is over 300~500MB. Generally, we print using the Network RIP Mode. We have an Agfa Accuset 800 and a SelectSet 7000 (running 13' and 26' film, but is not our primary machine), and we use VIPER on both. I haven't been with this company too long, but it sounds like both companies have run into the same issues and fixes for things.

Wow, I will look into that this week! I don't think anyone here would have thought to look at Adobe for Agfa PPDs. RE: OS X AGFA PPD Imagesetter issue Tuck007 (TechnicalUser) I'm just curious, when you said that you had OS 9 PPDs converted to OS X PPDs what did you mean. The 'New' PPD 'AGFA AccuSet 1000W-A' is a Format 4.3 PPD. And 'Auto Setup under OS X cannot commuicate correctly to the VIPER RIP-it does see it and communicates with it, but the answers that the VIPER gives OS X or the queries from OS X cause the session to hang and fail. Even setting up a 'Virtual PS Printer' using the IP printing and 'localhost' stuff does not work correctly. Now our OS 9 PPD (AC1000.PPD) is a PPD Format '4.2' (you can open a PPD in any text editor to see the Format Version Type.) Print Center under OS X does not like this PPD and fails to use it. This PPD solved page orientation problems that we were having with Quark 4 and our old PPD which was 'Agfa Accuset 1000.ppd' The PPD that we use under OS 9 is from 1998 ('AC1000.PPD') and we started using it when Quark 4 came out. We also have all of our Mac's as dual boot machines and do most of our work in OS 9 (not Classic mode under OS X). We do not image anything directly to the RIP. Our workflow is to make PostScript files of everything that we want to image and drop them into a 'HOT Folder' and set the RIP to 'Hot Folder' mode. VIPER 1.9.2 RIP (PS Level 2) running on a Mac. I am using the 'AGFA AccuSet 1000W-A' (PS Level 2) and it works for me. It may give you a 'PSE Environment' warning, but it still works. This PPD is really for the Taipan RIP, but it will also work with the VIPER. The one that you want is called 'AGFA AccuSet 800-A' (PS Level 2).

Download it and in it are PPDs for all of AGFA's imagesetters, but these are ones that I never saw before.

Go to Adobe's site ( to their downloads section and look for the PPD section. Instead of trying to re-write the PPD, I found one that works. RE: OS X AGFA PPD Imagesetter issue ggdebgg (TechnicalUser) 22 Sep 03 13:37

Apple's website has provided a lot of information for general printing procedures, but nothing specific. I have visited the AGFA website and there is very llittle to no support for this product in OS X. I wanted to find out if anyone has seen a good imagesetter PPD that works with this model AGFA or can help troubleshoot? Are there any specific forums or FAQs in this area. If we use a PPD for anopther AGFA product, we can still print, and we get the resolution options. All the applications we use (Quark, Illustrator, Freehand, Pagemaker, InDesign, and Acrobat) can print and make use of the Print dialog boxes just fine, all the options from the PPD are availible. In 9.2.2, all our applications can make use of the PPD for the 800, allowing proper linescreen defining and resolution for all our seperations.
