You have now verified that the printer is on the network and is communicating
with the Macintosh.
If you do not see the printer listed in the dialog box, then the printer is not
communicating with the Macintosh. For Ethernet connections, check the rear
panel of the printer; the green receive data RX LED of the Ethernet network card
should intermittently flash as the network card communicates to the host
network. If the RX LED is on steady, then a problem has occurred at the network
hub. Check the printer's cable connection to the network.
At the printer, check the printer to see if it health LED is blinking. The LED is
seen through the grill behind the manual feed tray. Ensure that the correct
network is selected. Refer to Chapter 6, "Troubleshooting" for more information
about networks. More troubleshooting tips are included in the reference manual
