Apple 12/600PS manual Apple Printer Utility can’t find an external hard disk

Apple Printer Utility can’t find an external hard disk.

You’ve attached an external hard disk to the printer. The Apple Printer Utility can’t recognize an external hard disk if

mthe disk has not been initialized

myou turned the disk on after turning on the printer

An “out of memory” message appears when you try to print.

The printer may have insufficient memory to print if

mthe document contains too many fonts that need to be downloaded from your computer to the printer

mthe document contains complex images

myou use a lot of fonts in your document but have not selected Unlimited Downloadable Fonts in the Page Setup Options dialog box

If a page contains very complex images, try to remove some of the complex detail from that page (or spread the information over two pages) and try again to print it.

If you encounter the “out of memory” message frequently, you can remedy this by increasing the amount of memory in the printer or installing a hard disk. See Chapter 5.

Options don’t appear in the Print dialog box.

Make sure the hardware options are properly installed in the printer, as described in Chapter 5.

Open the Chooser and click the LaserWriter 8 icon. Click the Setup button, then click Auto Setup in the dialog box that appears.

Background printing is disabled

If the Chooser shows background printing turned off, and the buttons are dimmed so you can’t turn it on again, PrintMonitor has probably been removed from the Extensions folder. On the disks that came with your Macintosh, find the PrintMonitor and drag it to the System Folder on your computer. (You need the original PrintMonitor along with Desktop PrintMonitor in the Extensions folder.)
