What means dock an application ?

Jun 13, 2017  Question: Q: Canon LBP 2900 Printer Driver for Mac OS X El Capitan. Every time when new Mac OS version releases, Canon's LBP 2900 printer stops working. I faced the same problem when I updated my Mac OS X from Yosemite to El Capitan version 10.11.1. It is very difficult to find the working driver in the Internet for this model of Canon printer. To see if your product is compatible with Mac OS X, please click on the + below next to your model series. Visit our Self-Help Center landing page for other OS-compatibility information for your product. Older models that are not listed are not supported with the operating systems listed below.

Dock an application means put its icon on the dock. This will allow to make the icon always visible, and then, start the application just clicking the icon !

Note: the number of icons you can dock is limited. (say around 40, what is not that bad ;-)

Process to dock the OpenOffice.org icon

1) Go in the Applications folder

2) Drag the OpenOffice.org icon somewhere in the dock (e.g. between two applications)

That's all !!

First launch

At the first launch, you'll be invited to answer a few questions. Please provide us feeedback : this is very important for us to improve the product.
