Connecting a printer

The printer/external modem port (´) on your Macintosh PowerBook can accept either a direct connection (to a printer such as a StyleWriter) or a network connection (to a printer such as a LaserWriter). In addition to connecting the printer or network cable to the port, you may have to adjust one or more software settings to assure that the computer’s signals reach your printer.

Adjustments for a printer connected directly to the port

If you are connecting a printer directly to the printer/external modem port, be sure to

mselect the icon for your printer in the Chooser

mturn off AppleTalk in the Chooser

Note: If an internal modem is installed, remove the X from the box labeled “Use internal modem instead of Modem Port” in the Express Modem control panel or click the Normal button in the PowerBook Setup control panel.

For instructions, see “How do I print?” in the “Printing & Fonts” topic area of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
