My office is on the third floor, and the LaserWriter is in the basement. When I try to do manual feed printing (using Word 4.0), this is what happens: I tell the machine to print, I rush downstairs, I stick my paper in the LaserWriter, and the LaserWriter does nothing. Alternatively, I go downstairs and put a sheet of paper in the printer, I go upstairs and give the print command, I rush back downstairs, and I find that the first page has printed but the LaserWriter won't accept paper for and won't print any further pages. In both these cases, when I get back upstairs Word continues as if the printing has been completed. I called the folks at Microsoft to ask what's going on, and they said they thought that either the System (I'm using 6.0.2) or the LaserWriter driver was imposing a time limit on manual feed and I'm getting beaten by the clock. I have the following questions: (i) Why don't I get a dialog informing me that my printing has been cancelled? (ii) Is there a way to reset the time limit (if that's really what's interfering with the printing)? (iii) Why doesn't my employer just give me a LaserWriter in my office? Any information on this will be appreciated. David H. Dezern Department of Mathematics University of North Carolina at Asheville bitnet: dezern@ecsvax internet: dezern@uncecs.edu
