Install Harlequin PPD on Mac Sonoma for PS file

[rickself]

Hello -
We have a Harlequin/Xitron RIP. I need to create a device dependent postscript file from InDesign 2024 but don't see the Xitron.ppd. I can't install as a printer in Mac Sonoma because it's not a physical printer. Where can I put the ppd so that InDesign can find the ppd to create the PS file?
Thanks in advance

I'm not currently on a Mac, but isn't there a folder in Mac OS/Utilities/Printers/PPDs ? IIRC it's something like that and you can put it in there and it will show up like a virtual printer.

Hey Digicorn - I haven't been in here like forever!
I'm not too fond of Adobe help but today they did it.
My thanks to Uwe Laubender ( Adobe Community Expert )

Quit InDesign.
Go to the application folder of the InDesign app.
Then to subfolder Presets. If not present add a folder exactly named PPDs and move the PPD file to that folder.
Restart InDesign.

That did the trick. I knew there was a way to do it.

Glad you figured it out. I'm working for the State of CA now, and they only have Windows down here. I suppose we can put in for Macs next time we need new equipment, but if it's currently working I don't think we can replace it.
