Mac Daisy Link: Not Printing from Modem Port PSS ID Number: Q65990 Article last modified on 04-01-1991 PSS database name: M_DaisyLnk

MACINTOSH

Summary:

Mac Daisy Link can normally print to both the printer and the modem port. However, there are some INITs that redirect information from the modem port to the printer port. Even though the Chooser is pointing to the modem port, printing from that port is disabled if these type of INITs are present.

If the printer prints with the modem port selected, but the printer is plugged into the printer port, then the output is being redirected by an INIT such as Shiva NetModem, or Redirector. These INITs are used with other products that need information that normally goes through the modem port to go through the printer port to an AppleTalk network.

To resolve the problem, either connect the printer to the printer port while printing, or remove the INIT from the System Folder and restart the Macintosh.
