Apple Printer Utility can’t find an external hard disk.
Yo u’ve attached an external hard disk to the printer. The Apple Printer Utility
can’t recognize an external hard disk if
m the disk has not been initialized
m you turned the disk on after turning on the printer
An “out of memory” message appears when you try to print.
The printer may have insufficient memory to print if
m the document contains too many fonts that need to be downloaded from
your computer to the printer
m the document contains complex images
m you use a lot of fonts in your document but have not selected Unlimited
Downloadable Fonts in the Page Setup Options dialog box
If a page contains very complex images, try to remove some of the complex
detail from that page (or spread the information over two pages) and try again
to print it.
If you encounter the “out of memory” message frequently, you can remedy
this by increasing the amount of memory in the printer or installing a hard
disk. See Chapter 5.
Options don’t appear in the Print dialog box.
Make sure the hardware options are properly installed in the printer, as
described in Chapter 5.
Open the Chooser and click the LaserWriter 8 icon. Click the Setup button,
then click Auto Setup in the dialog box that appears.
Background printing is disabled
If the Chooser shows background printing turned off, and the buttons are
dimmed so you can’t turn it on again, PrintMonitor has probably been
removed from the Extensions folder. On the disks that came with your
Macintosh, find the PrintMonitor and drag it to the System Folder on your
computer. (You need the original PrintMonitor along with Desktop
PrintMonitor in the Extensions folder.)
