not specific to TROY XCD print servers, and can be
fixed by upgrading the file server with the latest SMC
drivers. Contact SMC technical support at (516) 435-

board.

AppleTalk and PATHWORKS for
Macintosh Troubleshooting

If you cannot print from an AppleTalk or PATHWORKS for
Macintosh computer, you have checked the hardware and
network as described in the previous steps, then check:

1. Make sure that you are running Phase 2 AppleTalk and

that you have selected the correct network interface from
the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh.

2. If you have a large network, make sure that you have the

Laser Writer V8.2 or later drivers (or equivalent driver
such as the HP LaserJet 8.2), since earlier versions may
cause PostScript errors. Also, verify that you get the
correct printer information when you select Printer Info
from the Setup button in the Chooser.
