Connecting a printer

The printer/modem port on your computer can accept either a direct
connection (to a printer such as a StyleWriter) or a network connection (to a
printer such as a LaserWriter).

To connect a printer directly to your Macintosh PowerBook using the
printer/modem port, follow these steps:

1

Make sure the computer is in sleep or shut down.

2

Connect your printer according to the manual that came with your printer.

Also follow the instructions in your printer manual to install the printer
software and learn how to use your printer.

3

Turn on your Macintosh PowerBook.

4

Make sure AppleTalk is turned off in the Chooser.

You are now ready to use the printer.
