chapter in Printing from Mac OS.
To install the updated drivers on Mac OS X, see the Setting Up Printing on Mac OS X
chapter in Printing from Mac OS.

Two versions of Mac OS X printer driver
When you install the updated Mac OS X printer driver, you can install a Fast version, which
does not check for incompatible print option settings but runs faster, or a Comprehensive
version, which prevents you from choosing incompatible print option settings at the expense
of some processing time. A dialog box in the OS X installer lets you choose the version.
The Fast version addresses issues with folding and stapling on Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4.1.
Use the Fast version if the copier is configured with a finisher and you want to print folded
and/or stapled jobs on Mac OS X v10.3 or v10.4.1. Be aware that if you choose incompatible
print option settings, your job might not print as expected.
NOTE: You do not need to use the Fast version to print folded and/or stapled jobs on
Mac OS X v10.4.2 and later. If you have Mac OS X v10.4.2 or later, we recommend
installing the Comprehensive version to have the benefit of checking for incompatible print
option settings.
If you install the Comprehensive version and then later decide to install the Fast version, you
must remove the Comprehensive version first, using the procedure on page 8.
Be sure to remove any previous Fiery EXP250 printer drivers before installing the upgraded
printer drivers. For more information, see page 8.
