[fa.laser-lovers] LaserWriter and Mac

We have had our LaserWriter for about 10 days now.  We have been
having problems getting things to work right from MacWrite through
AppleTalk.

Printing one-page documents usually works, though the document page
is preceeded by a sheet with cloudy grey horizontal bands about 3
inches high near the top and the bottom of the page.  I shall refer
to this as a "grey sheet."  Perhaps this is an ill-fated attempt to
generate a header sheet.  There is no text on the grey sheet.

Printing multi-page documents specifying ALL for the page range
usually results in a grey sheet, and a number of completely white
sheets corresponding to the number of pages in the document.

Printing multi-page documents specifying a subrange of pages usually
works; there is a grey sheet at the beginning and sometimes between
pages.

The printer works fine when driven by TranScript.  We have tried
different copies of MacWrite and differend Macs.  Has anyone seen
anything like this?
