A print job was not sent to the printer that you wanted.
Cause
Solution
The printer might not be ready. Make sure that the cables are connected correctly, the printer is
on, and the Ready light is on. If you are connecting through a USB
or Ethernet hub, try connecting directly to the computer or use a
different port.
The interface cable might be defective or of poor quality. Replace the interface cable. Make sure to use a high-quality cable.
You cannot use the computer while the printer is printing.
Cause
Solution
Background Printing has not been selected.
For LaserWriter 8.6 and later: Turn on background printing by
selecting Print Desktop on the File menu and then clicking
Background Printing in the pop-up menu.
