[comp.sys.mac] PrintMonitor found an internal problem?

ostroff@oswego.Oswego.EDU (Boyd Ostroff) (02/16/89)

We just upgraded our Mac II to 5 meg and installed MultiFinder and are 
having problems printing to our LaserWriter II-NT. 

With background printing turned off, it generally works OK.  With it turned
on we get a variety of error messages, such as "file couldn't be found or
is busy" and "can't open printer".  Spool files appear to accumulate in the
system folder for each failed attempt.

If I try to start up the PrintMonitor application, I get the following
"interesting" error dialog:

"PrintMonitor found an internal problem.  Where = 6, Why = -37."

I've tried deleting spool files, replacing the PrintMonitor application
from the floppies, re-booting, etc.  We have no problems with PrintMonitor
from our 2.5 MB Mac Plus on the same LocalTalk net.

We're running System 6.0.2, 5 MB Mac II, external Everex 91 MB disk, Mass
Micro DataPak, E-Machines Z-21 grayscale Monitor.

Any help would be appreciated! Please respond via e-mail to 
ostroff@oswego.oswego.edu (I can't keep up with the newsgroup :-).
