If you are experiencing problems with printing from a Macintosh (not
related to print quality), make sure you have followed the instructions
in "Connecting to a Macintosh" in chapter 1, "Connecting the Printer,"
(especially the information about drivers). Then check the following:
n
In the Chooser, have you selected the LaserWriter icon and high-
lighted the correct printer?
n
Is AppleTalk active in the Chooser dialog box?
n
Are the screen fonts installed?
n
Is your application compatible with color PostScript Level 2?
(Check the application manual.)
n
If this is a network problem, are all Macintosh users on the net-
work using the same version of the LaserWriter and Laser Prep
files?
All Macintosh users on a network must use the same version of
the LaserWriter and Laser Prep files to run correctly. For exam-
ple, if the network has a mixture of LaserWriter 6.0 and 7.0, the
printer will experience frequent reinitialization problems. To check
the version number, select the LaserWriter icon and then hold
down the Command key and press the I key. The driver version
number appears in the Info window on the second to last line.
LaserWriter 7.xx does not require a Laser Prep file to work cor-
rectly with your printer. The Laser Prep information is located
within the LaserWriter driver itself.
