Possible Cause and Solution
Software is not installed correctly.
• The LaserWriter driver should be present as part of the
Macintosh OS. Make sure that the LaserWriter driver is in
the Extensions folder within the Systems folder. If not,
install the LaserWriter driver component from the
Macintosh OS CD.
• Make sure that you are using a high-quality cable.
• Make sure that the machine is on the correct network.
Select Network or AppleTalk Control Panel from
in the Apple menu and then choose the

• Make sure that the cables are connected correctly and the
machine is turned on.
• Check if "Ready" appears on the display of the control
panel. If not, press the Stop/Clear button to switch your
machine to on-line.
• Make sure that the correct printer driver has been selected
in Chooser.
