5Try printing from some other application. If the job prints from the second application, you’ve narrowed the problem to the first application. Make sure you are using the current version of the driver for the problem application.
6Place a job in the queue using a Novell utility such as PCONSOLE.
AppleTalk
Finding the default AppleTalk name
Your printer ships with a default AppleTalk name that appears in the Chooser. To find the default AppleTalk name, press the operator panel button to print a network setup page. Look under the AppleTalk heading for the printer name.
Creating a desktop printer icon
Each Macintosh user on the AppleTalk network who wants to use the printer should do the following steps.
1In the Chooser, select the LaserWriter 8 driver.
2If you have a routed network, there is a list of zones you can select from. The new printer is in the default zone for the network. Select this zone. If you don’t know which zone to select, look on the network setup page under AppleTalk for Zone.
3Select the new printer. If you don’t know which printer to select, look on the network setup page under AppleTalk. The default name of the printer is listed beside Name.
4Click Create.
5If prompted to select a PPD (PostScript Printer Description), you need to install the proper PPD from the drivers CD. To do this, launch the CD, click Installer, select the appropriate PPD for your printer, and then click Install. Go back to the Chooser and try to create the new printer again.
Note: A PPD describes the printer or printer family. For example, the PPD lists which options are valid for the printer.
6Look for an icon in the Chooser next to the printer name. This means you have successfully set up the new printer and a new desktop printer icon is on your desktop.
7In the Chooser, select the printer you want to use and then close the Chooser window.
