Apple Macintosh PowerBook 1400 - Manual (Page 105)

The printer does not appear in the Chooser.
m Make sure you’ve selected the correct kind of printer on the left side of the
Chooser window. For example, if you’re using a StyleWriter II, make sure
to select StyleWriter II, not StyleWriter.
m Use the scroll bars to look through all the selections in the Chooser
windows.
m Check the connections between your computer and the printer, including
relevant sections of the network if appropriate. (See “Problems With
Networks and File Sharing” later in this chapter.)
m Make sure the correct printer software is in the Extensions folder inside
your System Folder.
m If you’re using a network printer, make sure that AppleTalk is active in the
Chooser. If you are using a printer connected directly to your computer,
make sure AppleTalk is inactive.
m If your network has zones, make sure the zone containing your printer is
selected.
Nothing happens, or an error message appears, when I try to print.
m There may not be enough memory for printing. Try the following:
m Quit the program immediately after sending the Print command.
m Increase the amount of memory that PrintMonitor uses. (Quit
PrintMonitor if it’s open, select it, choose Get Info from the File menu,
and type a larger number in the Preferred Size box.)
m Reduce the amount of memory the program uses.
m Make sure the printer is turned on. Some printers need to warm up for a
few minutes after you turn them on.
m The printer may be out of paper or may need attention. Check the printer
status lights and any messages on your screen.
m Open the Application menu. If the PrintMonitor program is there, choose it
and check for status messages.
m Reinstall your printer software.
m Reset the parameter RAM. (See “The Computer Makes an Unusual Sound
at Startup” in the section “Problems Starting Up the Computer” earlier in
this chapter for instructions.)
