Q: LaserWriter Select 360 - no print driver comes up
Hoping someone can help. I've reviewed the other posts, but am not getting what I need. Basically, I have an LWS 360 connected to my G5 via an Asante Talk and hub. I've had this connection for some time.
Problem is – I had turned off all my powerbars while on vacation and when I came back and turned everything on, my printer wouldn't work. I did the sequential power up/off as required – unplug ADSL, turn off Asante and printer, then power up printer to online green, plug in Asante and then ADSL.
My LSW is listed in the Print & Fax list in the system prefs, as is an Epson and Adobe Pdfs. When I "click" the "+" sign, the pdfs come up under "Default" printers, Epson (which I no longer use) under "More printers", but the LSW isn't anywhere. Not under Appletalk or Default.
Everything worked fine prior to my vacation and I have not changed any connections. I have run into this issue (rarely), but can't recall the fix. Should I delete the LSW from my Print & Fax list and try to add it again. Or just try that sequencing thing again, and again, and again?
Thanks in advance. Sandra
