Part 2b - Creating a Desktop Printer (via EtherTalk)
Due to potential incompatibilities between Apple’s Desktop Printer Utility and certain AppleTalk networks, GCC does not recommend using the Apple Desktop Printer Utility to set up the Elite 21 series printer over EtherTalk. As a result, the Elite 21 Series software uses the Chooser to set up the printer over EtherTalk rather than the Desktop Printer Utility. Follow these steps to setup your printer over an EtherTalk connection.
1. Confirm that the Macintosh is properly configured to communicate over EtherTalk. Go to the Apple menu, then to Control Panels and to AppleTalk. In the AppleTalk window, confirm that the “Connect via:” selection is set to Ethernet. Close the control panel. Click Save if prompted to save settings.
2. Make sure that all steps in the Hardware Setup section of this manual have been fol- lowed. Follow the Macintosh installation steps in Part 1 of this section. In Step 9, select “AppleTalk” as the connection method and click “Setup Printer.”
