Does anyone know how the "3.0" LaserWriter Macintosh driver is better
than the 2.0? I'm having trouble with MacDraw 1.7 and the latter.
On a number of documents, the 2.0 (or rather, its LW-resident PostScript
interpreter, aka LaserPrep) seems to hang or crash and then say "xxx is
unable to print this document". I watch it carefully and no error message
is apparent in the status window prior to the crash.
The same document can be printed on the 3.0 just fine. Unfortunately,
the driver and HD20 file take up too much disk on my pre-HFS Mac 512.
If I knew what was different and why, I might understand a strategy
for when to use which one.
