[comp.sys.mac] DeskWriter vs. MacMoney 3.01

dorourke@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (David M. O'Rourke) (08/26/89)

  1st off I want to congradulate the HP staff who implemented the HP deskwriter
driver.  I've found it to be much better than Apple's drivers and they
did an EXCELLENT job.  I think the deskwriter is the best personal printer
on the market today and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a
macintosh printer.

  I've had no problems with it up to this point, and have been testing {read
playing with} it for the past week, and have gone through 1 cartrige
already.

  MacMoney version 3.01 doesn't seem to print to the deskwriter :-(  Upon
choosing print the system hangs, and when I move the mouse the cursor 
disappears from the screen.

  I am running an SE/30, version 6.0.3 of the system software, 5 megs of RAM
and quite a few inits.  I've turned off all of the INIT's and it still doesn't
print.

  I'm not attempting to place blame on HP or MacMoney, I was just wondering
if anyone else on the net has found a solution to this problem, and if they
have.  What is it.

  And help or comments would be appreciated.

  Thank you!!

Someone mentioned in an earlier article that they couldn't get MacMoney
to print to an HP DeskWriter.  I notified Mike Farmer at Survivor Software
of the problem and here is his response:

| Could you do me a favor and post a message back that says we know of
| the problem with the DeskWriter and we are working on it.  Hopefully
| we will have it fixed for our next release.  They just need to
| contact us to let us know they have a problem with the DeskWriter.
| We need their Name, Address, daytime phone number, and their 3.01 or
| 3.02 MacMoney serial number.  We will let them know when we get the
| problem fixed and provide them an upgrade.

The original poster already knows about this, but there may be others 
having similar problems.
