From: hodas@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Josh Hodas) Path: eniac.seas.upenn.edu!hodas Often when printing in best (off his Mac II) LSP will just randomly drop out chunks of print. (ie a line will have its top half printed then the rest and several following lines are gone). I would normally suspect problems with his imagewriter II bu this does not happen in any other apps that we know of, including LSP 1.1 which will merrily print the same source file with no problem. Any ideas?? Josh ------------------------- Josh Hodas (hodas@eniac.seas.upenn.edu) 4223 Pine Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 (215) 222-7112 (home) (215) 898-5423 (school office)

The error message Printer not responding ... is displayed frequently. Clicking the button to continue causes a normal resumption of printing, but only for a minute or two. When this occurs, fortunately, there has been no loss of data. I've noticed no problems printing source files from LSP itself, using LSP's print menu selection. My configuration: MacPlus, 2.5MB of memory, 20MB Rodime drive, no non-standard DAs or INITs, Imagewriter printer, no network system 6.0.2, multifinder running. -- Dave McIntee NetExpress Communications, Inc.
