I have been having problems lately using Background Laser printing with our Laserwriter Plus, from my MacPlus running Multfinder. What happens is that PrintMonitor tells me it has a problem, which "Not enough memory to print this now, you might close a desk accsory..." (note the mis-spelling!) Well, I get this even when I have no other application running besides the finder, leaving me some 600K free. While I was investigating this I noticed that Printmonitor was filling up its default 78K partition, and suspecting this was the problem I increased it to 120K. Voila, no problems. This problem is intermittant. It doesn't happen for all files,and I just tried setting the partiton back to 78, and reprinting the TechNote that I was just having trouble with--while running Versaterm--and it worked. Nothing like intermittancy to cloud the issue. Furthermore, I don't seem to remember having this problem a few weeks ago....so what could have changed? I'm using Font/DA Juggler, but the problem persists when I turn it off. I have the Application Menu INIT, and the AutoBlack Screen Idler installed. Anyone else have this problem? Also, why does Apple have such an uniformative message for this error--and why does the message have a spelling error in it :-) !!

Some system disks seem to have gotten out with a 78K partition for printmonitor. The real standard size is 80k. I run mine at 82K because I'm paranoid (my disks say 78K...)
