mIf you are using background printing, check for error messages. (Double-click the desktop icon for the printer you’re using.)

mTry printing again, but select the Print Detailed Report option. (Choose the Print command, click the Options button, then choose the Print Detailed Report from the PostScript Errors pop-up menu.)

mCheck the Chooser to be sure the printer is selected. Be sure to select the printer’s name, as well as the LaserWriter 8 icon and, if necessary, the AppleTalk network zone.

mCheck the Paper Out light. If it is on, add paper and replace the paper cassette. If it is blinking, make sure the paper cassette is securely in place.

mCheck for a paper jam as described in Chapter 11.

mCheck the network cables.

mTurn the printer off and back on. Check the startup page.

mReinstall the printer software on your computer’s startup disk.
