[comp.sys.mac] LW II & Print Manager

RUD@PSUVM.BITNET (Jeff Rich) (11/08/88)

Here's the problem:  A debit card machine attached to a LaserWriter II creates
a "paper-out" error when the debit card is removed, by monitoring certain
jumpers on the control board.  When a card is pulled before the print job is
finished, the rest of the job stays in memory until another card is inserted.
What I'd like to do is, somehow, tell the Print Manager - when there's a "paper
-out" condition, "flush" or reset the printer.  I've tried downloading several
different PostScript docs, and used several different programs that say they
can reset the printer; but nothing works because the Print Manager won't submit
the new job until the "paper-out" error is corrected.  Is there some way to
work around this problem other than switching the Printer off/on?  Send any
response to:
