Specifications

Your printer does not appear in the Chooser window.
m The printer may not be connected properly. Check the connections
between your computer and the printer, including relevant sections of the
network if appropriate.
m The printer software may not be in your System Folder. Install the software
that came with your printer or system software update.
m AppleTalk must be active before you can use a network printer. Make sure
that AppleTalk is active in the Chooser.
m If your network has zones, the printer you want may not be in the currently
selected zone. Make sure the correct zone is selected.
The network printer keeps restarting.
m Someone on the network may be using a different version of the printer
software. Everyone connected to a network should use the same printer
software version. Consult the network administrator for more information.
Nothing happens, or you see an error message, when you try to print.
m The printer may not be turned on. Make sure it is turned on and warmed
up.
m The printer may be out of paper or have some other problem. Check the
printer status lights and any messages on your screen.
m Turn the printer off for at least 10 seconds. Then turn it on again, wait for it
to warm up, and try to print again.
m There may not be enough memory to print. Quit programs you aren’t using
and try again.
Your documents are printed with the wrong fonts.
m The printer may not have your fonts in its memory. You may be able to add
the necessary fonts to your printer (see the Macintosh Reference book), or
print on a different printer that has the fonts you want. If you have a
LaserWriter, you can turn off Font Substitution in the Page Setup dialog
box.
See the Macintosh Reference book for general information about printing
documents. See the printer manual for more information about your printer’s
features or problems with the printed output.
