Troubleshooting Macintosh Problems

Solving Problems in the Chooser

Printer driver icon does not appear in the Chooser.

Reinstall the printer software. See software installation instructions
beginning on page 1-13.

Printer name does not appear in the “Select an HP LaserJet Printer” box
in the Chooser or list box.

Make sure the cables are connected correctly, the printer is on, and
the Ready (front) light is on.

Make sure the printer cable is connected to the computer’s printer
port.

Make sure the correct printer driver has been selected in the Chooser.

If the printer resides on a network with multiple zones, make sure the
correct zone is selected in the “AppleTalk Zones” box in the Chooser.

Make sure the printer has been chosen in the Chooser by printing a
self test. (Simultaneously press

[Go]

and

[Job[Cancel]

.) Check the

name of the printer displayed on the self test page.

Make sure the AppleTalk is on. (The button next to Active is selected
in the Chooser.)

Make sure you are using a high-quality cable.

Make sure the printer is on the correct network. Select the Network
control panel from Control Panels in the Apple menu and then
choose the correct network.

The printer driver does not automatically set up your selected printer
even though you clicked Auto Setup in the Chooser. (This is a
non-GX-environment.)
