Apple 8600 appendix Problems with networks and file sharing

Note: If you have an Apple printer, you need to determine which printer driver to reinstall—the one that came with your printer or one of the drivers included on your system software CD-ROM disc. Depending on when you bought your printer, one of these printer drivers will be more recent than the other. It is the more recent one you want.

Nothing happens, or an error message appears when you try to print.

mThere may not be enough memory for printing. Try the following:

m Quit the program immediately after sending the Print command to free up memory for printing.

m Increase the amount of memory for the desktop printer icon; select it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and type a larger number in the Preferred Size box.

m Reduce the amount of memory the program uses.

mMake sure the printer is turned on. Some printers need to warm up for a few minutes after you turn them on.

mThe printer may be out of paper or may need attention. Check the printer status lights and any messages on your screen.

mOpen the desktop printer icon and check for status messages.

mReinstall your printer software.

mMake sure the network is working by opening the Chooser and checking for the shared disks and printers you usually use.

mMake sure that AppleTalk is turned on in the Chooser.

mOpen the AppleTalk and TCP/IP control panels and make sure the settings are correct. For more information, see Chapter 5, “Connecting Your Computer to a Network.”
