6.1 Choosing the Printer
To choose the printer, use the following procedure:
1.
Make sure you have loaded the print driver and PPD file appropriate to your printer.
2.
Make sure you have selected Ethernet as the AppleTalk connection.
3.
Click on the Apple icon.
4.
Select Chooser to display the Chooser screen.
5.
Select the AppleTalk Zone containing the printer from the list at the lower left of the
screen. Select the device driver type corresponding to your printer from those
indicated at the upper left of the screen. A list of printers will appear in the display
panel at the right of the screen.
6.
From the display panel at the right of the screen, choose the name of the printer from
the list of printers. The AppleTalk printer name for your printer is printed out on the
Status and Configuration report under AppleTalk Connection Information.
7.
The options available at this point depend on your printer driver. With a typical driver,
you may select SETUP. Then select AUTO SETUP. There will be a series of
messages as the Chooser communicates with the printer and locates the proper
PPD. The setup screen will return, listing the PPD file selected. Select OK. Then exit
from Chooser.
