(This question was not in FAQ when I looked.) As I am the proud new caretaker of an Apple personal laserwriter, I would like to know which mode operation is better for the printer: 1) Turn it on in the morning, turn it off when I go home. 2) Never turn it off; leave it powered-up continuously. 3) ?? If it makes a difference: Currently I average printing between two and five pages a day -so the "test page" the printer automatically prints when I turn it on, is a big percentage of the paper I use. Related question: The Apple manual which comes with the printer alludes to a method (by means of postscript) to prevent the printer from printing its "test page" upon power-up. How can I accomplish that? My printer is hooked up to a Sun3 running version 18mumble of Sun's UNIX. Thank you all very much. Jonathan I would appreciate reply by email to squash@math.ufl.edu
