[net.micro.mac] Bug/Limitation in Laserwriter??

harrow@exodus.DEC (Jeff Harrow NCSE TWO/E92 DTN=247-3134) (10/03/85)

I have a large, complex MacWrite (V4.5) document which contains headers 
(with an embedded MacDraw graphic), footers (with text), lots of text, 
and numerous large, complex MacDraw graphics which appear, in one size 
or another, on almost all pages.

A previous chapter of this document was quite similar but the large, 
replicated MacDraw graphic was a bit less complex than the one in the 
current document.  The PREVIOUS, less complex document printed on the 
Laserwriter with only a moderate amount of modifications (primarily 
vertically shrinking the graphic on several pages to make the page a bit 
smaller).  HOWEVER, when I attempt to print the current, more complex 
document on the Laserwriter (it prints FINE on the Imagewriter), the 
Laserwriter thinks about the file for almost 25 minutes and only prints 
those few pages which do NOT contain the complex MacDraw graphic!

Is there some bug, or hidden limitation, which should explain this 
behavior?

Thanks.
