We've been having trouble printing from Red Ryder 10.3 to our LaserWriter since we installed the new 6.0.2 system software upgrade, including the latest LaserWriter and Laser Prep files. Red Ryder has been producing an error message that it doesn't have enough space to print what's been selected (it's got 35 megabytes of free disk space, and it's running alone in 2 megs of RAM) from the terminal window. It has also been returning a system error, and I haven't been able to determine why it does one or the other in any given attempt to print. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening, and what can be done to stop it from happening so we can return to printing normally? -- Mark H.

The problem causes some sort of system error, however this does not occur under System 5.0 using the Laser 5.2 drivers. Scott from what I understand will be making some significant changes in the printing facilities in Red Ryder 11. However how much remains to be seen... I have heard that if you use a Spooler like SLS it eliminates the problem since the spooler is handing the printing, not RR...that might be a a workaround or permanent solution if you find you like SLS... SLS=SuperLaserSpool.... -- Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 3Com Corp. Co-Sysop FreeSoft RT - GEnie. Enterprise Systems Division (I disclaim anything and everything)
