If you don't get any response from the printer when you try to print a document, try the following steps:
- Make sure you printed on the printer you intended to use.
- Check your desktop printer for error messages. Double-click the desktop printer icon to open the Desktop PrintMonitor.
- Try printing again, but select the Print Detailed Report option. (Choose the Print command. Choose PostScript Error Handling, then select Print Detailed Report.)
- Check the Chooser to be sure the printer is selected. Be sure to select the printer's name, as well as the LaserWriter 8 icon and, if necessary, the AppleTalk network zone.
- Check the Paper Out light. If it is on, add paper and replace the paper cassette.
- Check for a paper jam.
- Check the network cables.
- Turn the printer off and back on. Check the startup page.
- Reset the communication settings to their factory default values by setting the communication switch to the Reset (out) position. Turn the printer off and back on again. Set the communication switch to the Normal (in) position.
- Reinstall the printer software on your computer's startup disk.
