6. Close the Chooser.

Choose Close from the File menu or click the close box.

Now each time you issue the Print command, the dialog box will show the name

of the print spooler. You'll also notice that you will be able to return

quickly to work on your computer instead of waiting for the printer to finish

its job.

Selecting manual feed

When you use a print server, the printer status messages that are usually

displayed on your screen do not appear. If you need to use letterhead

stationery for one letter, for example, it's easiest to feed paper to the

printer manually. To feed paper manually to the printer you need to be able

to see those messages.

If you want to feed the paper manually to the printer, select a printer in

the Chooser that does not have the word Spooler after its name. This will be

either a printer not connected to a spooler, or one for which your

administrator has selected the Allow Bypass option on the spooler. Check with

your network administrator if you are unsure which printers on the network

meet these criteria.

TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter lists some common problems you may encounter when you work with

AppleShare services and describes their probable causes as well as solutions.

Before performing any of the troubleshooting operations described, make sure

that network hardware is functioning properly and cable connections are

secure. In addition to the solutions offered here, your network administrator

is a good source for answers to troubleshooting questions.
