Header: AppleWorks to LocalTalk ImageWriter: Printing Problems


 This article last reviewed: 6 June 1989

 Some users have complained of an inability to print either from an Apple
 IIe or from an Apple IIGS across an LocalTalk network to an ImageWriter II
 when using AppleWorks.  All reported being able to print from BASIC using
 PR#7. Although the networks could have rather different configurations and
 software, these facts were the same.

 The difficulty in printing concerns the version of AppleWorks being run
 from the server.  The ability to print from Applesoft indicates that the
 hardware is properly configured.  AppleWorks 2.0 is not licensed for, nor
 designed for, running from an AppleShare server.  For a version of
 AppleWorks licensed and designed for running from a server, use AppleWorks
 version 2.1N.  Be sure, in AppleShare Admin under the Apple II menu, to set
 the user's account to the desired printer.  The alternative would be to run
 AppleWorks 2.0 from a local disk.

 The printing procedure is the same whether you start across the network or
 you startup locally.  However, the network version of AppleWorks is
 required, if it is to be run from the server.  Here is some background
 information, relative to this inquiry.

 - Aristotle has no effect on the ability to print from AppleWorks.

 - The location of ATINIT differs when on a server (as compared to a local
 disk).  On the server, ATINIT should be in the folder assigned to the user.
 For example: ProDOS.SERVER/USERS/(_user's name_)/SETUP/ATINIT.

 - The name of the System.APPS subdirectory is not critical, as long as a
 consistent name is used throughout the network.

 - The WWSS file is not necessary for the operation of AppleWorks.
