    You'll have to install printing software for that model of printer.
    Did the printer come with any disks? If so, one will probably contain the installer for the printing software.

    Thanks for the reply and no I do not have the printer yet or the disks. But if I get that printer I can get the software for it.

    What printers will work with your SE?

    For the SE to use a printer, it needs to have the printing software for that model of printer.
    The software for all Apple printers manufactured at the time of System 6.0.8 can be found on the System 6.0.8 installer diskettes. (This includes all ImageWriters and a few LaserWriters.) In fact, this software is installed by default if you did an easy install instead of a custom install.

    The printing software for most other Apple printers can be downloaded here:

    Also look here:

    The software for non-Apple printers has to be installed with a separate installer. You can usually find this on a disk that comes with the printer.

    Thanks for the reply and the websites to download the system diskettes so I can use that printer on my Macintosh Se if I get it.
