Josh,

When you select "Print", from the routing menu, a dialog should appear.
There is a popup menu in the middle of the dialog that says "Printer".
Do you have a printer name appearing next to this popup? If not, tap the
"Printer" popup, then select "Choose Network LaserWriter". A dialog should
appear and you should see your printer's name appearing there. Tap it's name
to highlight it, then tap the close button. The name should now appear next
to the "Printer" label.

If any of this doesn't work, then maybe your physical connection is
defective, one of your LocalTalk/PhoneNet connector is broken. Or the
printer isn't a network PostScript LaserWriter. What kind of printer is
this, BTW?

-Laurent.

Borg n.: In "Star Trek: The Next Generation" the Borg is a species of cyborg
that ruthlessly seeks to incorporate all sentient life into itself; their
slogan is "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." In hacker
parlance, the Borg is usually Microsoft, which is thought to be trying just
as ruthlessly to assimilate all computers and the entire Internet to itself
(there is a widely circulated image of Bill Gates as a Borg). Being forced
to use Windows or NT is often referred to as being "Borged". Interestingly,
the Halloween Documents reveal that this jargon is live within Microsoft
itself. (Other companies, notably Intel and UUNet, have also occasionally
been equated to the Borg.) See also Evil Empire, Internet Exploiter.
