Has the AppleTalk/EtherTalk network driver been selected in the Network/AppleTalk Control Panel dialog box?

The appropriate printer must be selected for the export module. You can do this by opening the Export Module dialog box and checking the printer that is displayed in the Printer group box. If the correct printer is not displayed, click on Select; and use the dialog box options that appear to select the appropriate printer from the dialog box.

Refer to the user’s guide for the export module for more information.
