[comp.sys.mac.hardware] HP LJ IIP, Mac II, ATM Printing Problem....

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (06/29/90)

I am using a Mac II with ATM to print to my LJIIP.  Up until about a
week ago (when I moved my system), things have worked famously.  Now,
when I try to print letters with ATM dumping the 300DPI text to my
2.5MB IIP, I occasioanlly get spurious dashes through some text, kinda
like the line is slightly "off" (like it's shifted 5 dots or so).

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?  I ran a print
test on the IIP, and there's no dropout, but I suspect that the print
test doesn't actually fill up printer memory; it just uses Internal
fonts.

My thoughts are:

1)  I just swapped IIPs with HP to get the power supply repaired
(permanent swap option).  Could the new one be bad?

2)  My 2MB memory card has a screwup in it now (maybe cyhanging
printers fould something just a little).

3)  My soft fonts (ATM) are messed up somehow.


Can someone help me?
