[bit.listserv.novell] Apple Printer on Novell

Caroline_Preston-Thomas@CARLETON.CA (01/18/90)

We have a PS/2 Model 80 running Advance Netware v. 2.15 serving 15-20
workstations on both Token Ring and Ethernet.  We have 3 printers,
2 HP LaserJetII's (one with SuperCartridge and one without) and an
Apple Laserwriter PlusIINT.
The Apple is connected to a 386 Stand alone as well as to the file
server.  It works fine (in fact great) as a local printer.

The Problem:  When used as a network printer, it prints only
3 or 4 pages of a long document.  All fonts, pitches, etc. are
in tact.  (This is used mainly with Word Perfect 5.0).  On the
file server, it is set up to use XON/XOFF as are the HPs.

Trial:  When 4 pages of a from 1 document were sent separately,
pages 1, 3, and 4 were printed.  Page one was full of different
fonts and sizes.  Page 2 was sent successfully later.

It appears that I don't have a large enough buffer, but why do the
other lasers work OK and why does it work perfectly as a local off
the 386?

Any suggestions?

Thanks !
