Ok, here's an obscure one for all you manual-feed people: I've got a Laserwriter II NT (at the moment all to myself!!) connected to a Mac II running System 6.0.2 and Finder 6.1 etc, etc. When I try to do a manual feed and LEAVE PAPER TO BE HAND FED IN THE TRAY BEFORE THE RED LIGHT COMES ON, the paper feeds just fine, but the red light doesn't go off. If, on the other hand, I wait for the red light to come and THEN feed in the paper, the red light goes off (as it should) after the sheet goes through. Make any sense? Has anyone seen this too, or is my logic board not quite all there? Any info would be greatly appreciated...

I have experienced the same thing: if you insert manual feed paper before you are asked for it, the light doesn't go out. If you wait until the light comes on first, it goes out. I assume that this is merely annoying. BUT, I have had a problem (once, then couldn't recreate it) where I printed a FreeHand 2 document, and the printer "spooled up" to the high-pitched whine it has...and stayed there. Thirty seconds and the paper still hadn't come through. It had been sucked down to the first stop--where it can pause for as long as 5 seconds at times--but it went no farther. So I turned the printer off. Sometime I will investigate this... Wayne Folta (folta@tove.umd.edu 128.8.128.42)
