If you do not install these files for your printer, you can still print
from the applications using other printer options. However, you
may get some error messages informing you to change the name
of the printer, and you may not have all your printer capabilities
available to you.
Testing Macintosh Communication
You can check that the printer selected in the Chooser and the
Macintosh are communicating by printing a directory:
1. Display a disk or folder window.
2. Choose Page Setup from the File menu. Select paper size,
printing orientation, and any other necessary options. Then
select OK.
3. Choose Print Directory or Print Window from the File menu.
A dialog box appears.
4. Select the printing options you want; then click OK. If no page
prints, check chapter 9, “Troubleshooting.”
Connecting via the Parallel Port
Parallel communication is faster than serial communication, so it
is best if
■ A parallel port is available on your host
■ The host and printer are within 6 feet (approximately 1.8
meters) of each other
■ You print a lot of graphics
