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, Alan Nakamoto Pacific Microelectronics Centre (604)-293-6052 email : nakamoto@eric.mpr.ca OR uunet!ubc-cs!mpre!nakamoto
