Connecting a printer
The modem/printer port on your computer can accept either a direct
connection (to a printer such as a StyleWriter) or a LocalTalk network
connection (to a printer such as a LaserWriter). See the manual that came
with your printer for specific information about the type of connection
it requires.
To connect a printer directly to your Macintosh PowerBook using the
modem/printer port, follow these steps:
1Connect your printer as instructed in the manual that came with your printer.
2 Open the Chooser from the Apple (
K
) menu.
3 Turn off AppleTalk by clicking the Inactive button in the AppleTalk section.
Note: If you are using an Ethernet connection or a network printer, you don’t
have to turn AppleTalk off.
4In the Chooser, select the icon for the type of printer you connected.
If you need detailed instructions for using the Chooser, see “How do I select
a printer?” in the Printing topic area of Mac OS Guide, available in the Guide
(h) menu.
The printer is ready to use.
