[comp.sys.mac] PrintMonitor won't launch itself

jmpiazza@cs.Buffalo.EDU (Joseph M. Piazza) (02/04/89)

	Often when printing a document under MultiFinder, the PrintMonitor
doesn'always launch itself.  I have to do it manually (I use a QuickKeys
macro that, curiously, only seems to works consistently when used from
MultiFinder.  There is also a special trick to defining this QuicKeys macro
for the latest System).

	This usually only happens  a f t e r  working normally for one set
of print jobs, that is, after terminating once.  Print jobs added to the
queue while PrintMonitor is still active are fine.  We've experienced this
from the last System or two on SE's and Mac+'s, though it seems to afflict
SE's more than the Mac+'s (unless our Mac+ users aren't complaining as much
as they used to).  :-)

	Has anybody else experienced this?  Any fixes?  Or do I just have to
keep launching it manually?  To me it's just an anoyance but it confuses
the hell out of our neophyte types.

	If you have any solutions, please respond using email and I'll
summarize and post.

Flip side,
