In four years of Mac use, I've run into some strange problems, but there's always more where they came from... About once a page, my Imagewriter just decides to feed forward about 4 lines or so, then continue printing exactly where it left off. What's weird about it is that it never used to do this, and so far as I can tell nothing's changed for months (same mac, system etc, imagewriter, etc.) Has anybody else run into this problem? Have any ideas what might be causing it? I have a Plus, with Imagewriter 1, using ImageWriter I/II direct-connect v2.6 04/13/87 driver. It seems that the problem occurs mostly after the printer has been on or working for quite a while, suggesting that it MIGHT have something to do with the printer heating up. Thanks, Tim van Gelder vangelde@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu
