Connecting a printer
The modem/printer port on your computer can accept either a direct
connection (to a printer such as a StyleWriter) or a LocalTalk network
connection (to a printer such as a LaserWriter). See the manual that came
with your printer for specific information about the type of connection
it requires.
To connect a printer directly to your Macintosh PowerBook using the
printer/external modem port, follow these steps:
1
Connect your printer as instructed in the manual that came with your printer.
2
Open the Chooser from the Apple (
K
) menu.
3
Turn off AppleTalk by clicking the Inactive button in the AppleTalk section.
Note: If you are using an Ethernet connection or a network printer, you don’t
have to turn AppleTalk off.
4
In the Chooser, select the icon for the type of printer you connected.
If you need detailed instructions for using the Chooser, see “How do I select
a printer?” in the Printing topic area of Mac OS Guide.
The printer is ready to use.
