Mac running OSX Tiger, right now there are 2 LJ 5si's on the network , both are installed on this computer. For some reason on only one of the 2 5si's i have full options in Page Setup when going to print. Both are installed with the same drivers. Not really familiar with Macs , any help would be appreciated

Are you absolutely sure the one with the missing features is using the correct/same driver - use Printer Setup in the Applications/Utilities folder to check. If it is missing features then one possibility is that it has defaulted to the Generic Laser Printer driver. If it isn't that, then I don't know anymore to help out.

But have you chosen to have the same options (such as duplex and additional paper trays) installed? With many older printers, you have to add those manually.

If you haven't told the computer which accessories are connected, then some options may be missing.
