Finding the printer's name in the Chooser
  1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.

  2. In the upper-left corner of the Chooser, find the driver icon. (If the driver icon does not appear in the Chooser, you need to install the printer driver.) Click on the driver icon.

  3. If a list of zones appears in the lower-left portion of the Chooser, select the proper zone.


    Note: The printer's default zone is listed in the EtherTalk or TokenTalk field on the Configuration Page. For more information on the Configuration Page, see
    The printer's Configuration Page.
  4. A list of printers appears in the right portion of the Chooser. Find the name of your printer in the list. The printer's default name is listed on the Configuration Page (see The printer's Configuration Page). If the name does not appear, check the cable connection between your printer and the network.


    Note: It is possible for the name on the configuration page to be blank. When the printer is powered up, it uses a default name and then checks to see that no other printer on the network has the same name. If enough printers with the same default name are present it can take several minutes for the printer to establish an unique name. If the name on the configuration page is blank, wait a short time and reprint the configuration page.
