This section provides information on the possible causes, verifying
methods and recommended actions pertaining to errors which may
occur when the printer is used with EtherTalk.

PROBLEM

TREATMENT

The name (or the

default name) of the

printer has been

changed.

Cause

The Apple Talk function of the printer

name if it detects that a printer of the

same name exists on the network.

Verification

Check Chooser to confirm that the

printer name has been changed.

Action

Change the name of the printer or

change the name of the other printer

to avoid duplicate printer names on

the network.

The printer does not

appear in Chooser.

Continued

Cause 1

In Chooser, only the NBP entity name

of which entity type is Laser/Writer is

displayed.
The printer is set up as a slave of the

Apple Share Print Server or the Win-

dows NT Server and the NBP entity

name of the printer has been

changed from LaserWriter.

Verification 1

Use of a network management appli-

cation software, such as Apple Inter-

Pole, and check that the type of the

NBP entity name of the printer has

been changed from LaserWriter.

Action 1

If the type of NBP entity name of the

printer has been changed from

Laser/Writer, the printer cannot be

selected in the Chooser. If the printer

must be selected, open the printer

using the Apple Share Print Server or

the Windows NT Server.

Cause 2

The Macintosh printer driver searches

for a printer with the printer name

specified in the Chooser and the zone

name of Apple Talk.
If the network is not connected cor-

rectly, the printer cannot be found.
