AppleTalk Troubleshooting
If you cannot print from a Macintosh computer with AppleTalk, check the following:
1.Make sure that you are running Phase 2 AppleTalk and that you have selected the correct network interface from the Network Control Panel on the Macintosh.
2.If you have a large network, make sure that you have the AdobePS, LaserWriter 8.xx, or equivalent driver since earlier versions may cause PostScript errors. Verify that you get the correct printer information when you select Printer Info from the Setup button in the Chooser.
3.Make sure that you have selected the correct Printer Description File from the Chooser.
4.Verify that you selected the correct AppleTalk zone. Because the NIC receives its zone information from router broadcasts, it may not be in the zone you expect and will not show up in the Choose. You may need to force the zone name with the SET APPLETALK ZONE command.
5.If you are running an old version of Macintosh OS, verify that the Laser Prep versions on all Macintosh computers that need to print to the NIC are the same.
Windows NT Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble printing with Windows NT, check the following:
1.Make sure that you can ping the NIC using the DOS command PING ipaddress where ipaddress is the IP address of the NIC.
2.Make sure that TCP/IP is installed and running on the Windows NT system.
