Someone where I work just got a Mac IIci. We installed system 6.0.4
and we are using LaserWriter and LaserPrep from Apple's Colordisk 1.0.
Printing to an Apple IINT LaserWriter works fine under MultiFinder but
with background printing on, nothing gets printed.
Are we doing something wrong?
All INITs were removed from the system folder and the problem persists.
Another question: Is the 32 bit color quickdraw init's function
replaced by the IIci's ROM (or is it a PROM)?
Thanks in advance!

I know that 2.0 isn't, when using FileMaker II in shared mode and I wonder if this incompatibility was fixed in SuperLaserSpool 2.01. ============================================================================= Arie Covrigaru | Internet: arie@eecs.umich.edu University of Michigan AI Lab | 1101 Beal Ave., Ann Arbor, MI 48109 =============================================================================

One person responded >saying that Background Printing with System 6.0.4 and LaserWriter 6.0 (from >Apple's ColorDisk 1.0) were incompatible - this seems to be the true reason. The problem here is that if you install 6.0.4, then just copy over the LaserWriter 6.0 drivers from the Color Disk, things don't work correctly. You need to make sure that you're running the PrintMonitor application that is on the Color Disk, NOT the one from 6.0.4. I wish that LaserWriter 6.0 was an "official" release that shipped with 6.0.4 and later. It offers a lot more functionality (particularly for those who use their Macs for DTP or color PostScript, or even for transferring PS files between different computer systems)...

Arie, Unfortunately, FileMaker II does not support spoolers. Claris is aware of the problem and hopes to rectify the situation in a future release. Fabian Ramirez SuperMac Technology fabian@cup.portal.com sun!cup.portal.com!fabian

I talked to one of your tech support people about a week ago, asking if upgrading to version 2.01 of SuperLaserSpool will work with FileMaker II and he said he has never heard of any incompatibility problems. Maybe he should be replaced with someone who has. In any case, thanks for the info. Incidentally, FileMaker II does work with Apple's PrintMonitor. ============================================================================= Arie Covrigaru | Internet: arie@eecs.umich.edu University of Michigan AI Lab | 1101 Beal Ave., Ann Arbor, MI 48109 =============================================================================
