your printer. The printer driver should appear in the Extensions
list and have a checkmark beside it. (Click to put a checkmark
beside it, and then restart your computer.)

Check your printer settings in the Chooser (in the Apple menu),
making sure you have selected the correct printer. If you are using
a printer that is shared by other computer users (a printer on a
local network), make sure that AppleTalk (in the lower-right cor-
ner of chooser) is active.

Turn off the computer and printer and check the printer cable
connections.

If none of these suggestions solves the problem, you may need to
reinstall the printer driver that came with your printer. Refer to
the manual that came with your printer.
Note: If you have an Apple printer, you need to determine which
printer dri ver to reinstall—the one that came with your printer or one
of the drivers included on your SuperMac CD-ROM. Depending on when
you bought your printer, one of these printer drivers will be more
recent than the other. It is the more recent one you want. Look at the
date of the printer driver that came with your printer. (Usually, the
printer driver comes on a floppy disk with the printer.) To see the
date, insert the floppy disk, double-click its icon to open it, and
choose “by Name” from the View menu. Then look for the same printer
drive name on the SuperMac CD-ROM. Look for it in the Hard Disk
Files folder, in the System Files folder, and in the Extensions folder.
(Then choose “by Name” from the View menu to see the date next to it.)
The drivers must have the same name. If they do, reinstall the printer
driver with the most recent date next to it. If you use the printer
driver on the SuperMac CD-ROM, drag the printer driver into the Sys-
tem Folder on your hard disk and then click OK. If you use the printer
driver that came with the printer, see the manuals that came with the
printer for instructions on reinstalling it.
