[comp.sys.mac.system] Appletalk gurus: Here's something to chew on...

Jeff <jkain@bronze.ucs.indiana.edu> (05/20/91)

I ran across a problem this weekend that I've never encountered
before:

We had just moved into our new office.  I connected our LocalTalk
network (running TOPS 3.0 and QuickMail) and plugged my
Radius-accelerated Mac Plus into the jack in my office.  I had
AppleShare 2.0.2 and LaserWriter 5.2 installed, so I activated
Appletalk and chose LaserWriter.  Nothing appeared in the chooser
window.

Hmmm....

So I ran Interpol.  Sure enough, our LaserWriter was registered on the
network from my machine.  And I checked the choosers from the other
machines in the office; all of their choosers registered the
LaserWriter correctly.

I reinstalled all of my system software and tried again.  No luck.
Still nothing in the chooser, yet Interpol registered properly.  TOPS,
QuickMail, and DataClub all worked perfectly, and Interpol indicated
that nothing was unusual.

So I copied a Laser Prep file from one of the other computers (all
SEs, SE30s, LCs, and SIs) into my system folder and tried printing a
document.  It found the printer and printed without any difficulty.
But it's name still won't show up in the chooser.

Any ideas?  I'm fresh out....
