■ If you have a PC, use this DOS ECHO command:
echo showpage > port
Substitute the name of the printer port (for example
COM1:,
COM2:, LPT1:, LPT2:) for the variable port in this command.
For example, if you are testing a parallel connection on LPT1,
type:
echo showpage > lpt1:
If the communication link between your computer and the
printer is working, the printer should eject a blank page. If
this works, but you cannot print from your application or
through Windows, make sure that the appropriate driver is
installed and that you have selected the printer correctly.
The printer doesn’t appear in the Chooser
■ Make sure that the printer is turned on and the cables are correctly
attached.
■ Check the termination (refer to the documentation for your
Ethernet adapter or LocalTalk connector for information on
termination).
■ Make sure that you have the correct zone selected in the Chooser
before looking for the printerÕs name in the list of printers.
■ If you have changed the printerÕs name, make sure that you have
given it a unique name (not the same as any other printer in the
zone).
