Macintosh Environment Checkup

In a Macintosh environment, if you experience printing problems,
other than quality ones, the following quick checkup may provide an
easy, fast solution.

connected correctly. If there are any open sockets, close
them with terminating resistors. See "Connecting in a
Macintosh Environment" in chapter 2 for details.
• Make sure you select the correct LaserWriter icon and
your printer, and verify that LocalTalk is active in the
Chooser.
• Make sure the correct LaserWriter file is in your System
Folder.
• Make sure you install screen fonts to match the printer
fonts you use.
• If you have an Ethernet setup, make sure all Ethernet
cabling is connected correctly. See your network
documentation for details.
