Hi. I have a rather annoying problem. I wrote a stack for our research group that takes care of a lot of ordering stuff. It has been working fine so far. This morning our technician (in charge of ordering) printed out a couple of cards as usual, with no problems. About an hour ago she tried again. It prints about 1/4 of the card, then starts printing garbage. Sometimes it then just stops printing. Other times it does a million form- feeds. I opened some other stacks and tried to print cards from them... Same problem! Nothing was done to change the stack or HC since this morning when it was working fine! I tried turning off the mac and the printer and waiting awhile, to no avail. The only thing different was that HC started acting up when it was run under multifinder (with a 1 meg partition). So I ran it under unifinder...same thing. Since it munged printing in other stacks, I thought HC itself was the problem, so I replaced it with a backup...Same problem. I am going to take the stack home tonight to run it on my mac at home to see if I get the same problem. Anyone know what could cause the stack/hypercard to suddenly go brain-damamged? It is important that I be able to print cards; can any- one tell me how to fix this prooblem????
