[comp.periphs.printers] Macdraw Problem with HP LJIIID

nakamoto@joplin.mpr.ca (Alan Nakamoto) (06/12/91)

I was curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem and
whether a solution is out there. 

Currently, we are using a HP Laserjet IIID with HP's postscript cartridge,
HP's Appletalk Interface and 5 Mbs of RAm on a mixed localtalk network 
consisting of mostly Mac SE's and the printer is served by a Mac running 
Apple's print server software. 

The printer has performed well with every program that we have except
Macdraw II vers 1.1B. WHen a file is sent to the laserjet it essentially
hangs up. The printer continually displays "Processing Data" on the
front panel and will remain that way until the offending file being sent
to it gets removed from the queue and the printer reset. The strange
thing is that nothing like this occurs under the same situation for MS
Word, Excel, Filemaker II, Quickmail, or superpaint.

Software-wise, all macs are running system 6.0.5 and using laser prep
version 6.0 with laserjet IIID chooser document version 1.1.

Any thoughts welcome,

Thanks,
