[comp.sys.mac] trouble with Deskwriter from PageMaker

robertt@hpvcfs1.HP.COM (Bob Taylor) (11/11/89)

With your DeskWriter Manual, you should have received a list of
incompatible apps. - one of which is any early (pres 2.0?)
version of MacPaint.  Many early apps. (including MacPaint) would
print only to LaserWriters and ImageWriters, which at the time
was reasonable since that was all that existed.  The message you are
seeing is MacPaint not recognizing the DeskWriter driver.  Upgrading
to MacPaint 2.0 will solve this.  As far as the PageMaker 2.0 bug, we
(I was testing coordinator for the DeskWriter) didn't test with 2.0, but
tested intensively with 3.0 (and now 3.01) with no problems, so an upgrade
is probably :-) the fix there also.
