Solving common printer issues 141

The Macintosh computer is
not communicating with the
printer.

Make sure that

READY

appears on the printer control panel.

Make sure that the correct printer driver is selected in the left half
of the Chooser. Then make sure that the correct printer name is
selected (highlighted) on the right half of the Chooser. An icon will
appear next to the printer name after the driver has been set up
and configured with the PPD.

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 correct printer has been selected in the Chooser by
printing a configuration page (see

Configuration page

). Make sure

the name of the printer that appears on the configuration page
matches the printer in the Chooser.

Make sure AppleTalk is active. (Select this in the Chooser or in
the AppleTalk control panel, whichever is applicable for your OS
version.)

Make sure the computer and printer are on the same network.
From Control Panels in the Apple menu, select the Network (or
the AppleTalk) control panel and then select the correct network
(for example, LocalTalk or EtherTalk).

The printer driver icon does
not appear in the Chooser.

Make sure the Apple LaserWriter 8 Chooser extension resides in the
Extensions folder. If it does not exist anywhere on your system, you
can obtain the driver from your Macintosh OS system software CD,
from Apple Computer, Inc. For more information, see the HP support
