∙Make sure the printer cable is connected to the computer’s printer port.

∙Make sure the correct printer driver has been selected in the Chooser.

∙Make sure the printer has been chosen in the Chooser by printing a self test. (Simultaneously press [Go] and [Job[Cancel].) Check the name of the printer displayed on the self test page.

∙Make sure the AppleTalk is on. (The button next to Active is selected in the Chooser.)
