Connecting a printer
Your computer has a printer port, which you use to connect a printer.
The printer port accepts either a direct cable connection (to printers such as
the StyleWriter 2500) or a network cable connection (to printers such as most
LaserWriter models). A printer can also be connected to the modem port.
See the manual that came with your printer for more detailed information and
instructions on setting up and using the printer. Although your computer
comes with most Apple printer software (called “printer drivers”) already
installed, you may need to install software from disks that came with your
computer.
You use the Chooser to tell the computer which port you used to connect your
printer. For instructions on choosing a printer, open the Guide (h)menu and
choose Macintosh Guide (or Mac OS Guide), click the Guide’s Index button,
and choose “printing” from the index.
