Printing Errors

Problem

The printer driver icon

does not appear in the

Chooser.

The printer name does

not appear in the Select

a PostScript Printer box

in the Chooser.

Possible Cause and Solution

Software is not installed correctly.

• The LaserWriter driver should be present as a part of the

Macintosh OS. Make sure that the LaserWriter driver is in the

Extensions folder within the Systems folder. If not, install

the LaserWriter driver component from the Macintosh OS CD.

• Make sure that you are using a high-quality cable.
• Make sure that the printer is on the correct network. Select

Network or AppleTalk Control Panel from Control

Panels in the Apple menu and then choose the correct

network.

• Make sure that the cables are connected correctly, the printer

is on, and the Data light is on.

• Make sure that the correct printer driver has been selected in

the Chooser.

• If the printer resides on a network with multiple zones, make

sure that the correct zone is selected in the AppleTalk

Zones box in the Chooser.

• Make sure AppleTalk is on. (The button next to Active is

selected in the Chooser.) You may need to restart the

computer to activate the change.
