I am having difficulties with printing. I am using:
TeXtures 1.2,
SuperLaserSpool 2.0,
System 6.0.5
Finder 6.1.5
DeskWriter driver 2.1
Things seem OK when SLS is turned off. When it's on, the bitmapped fonts seem
to be lost, and only some sort of primative font is printed. I understand that
SLS 2.02 has had this problem corrected (my source was HP, when I ordered the
version 2.1 of the DeskWriter driver). Is this indeed the case? Will Supermac
provide a free upgrade? A replacement? If it's an upgrade, does it come with
instructions? Do I have do buy it? If so,for how much? Does Supermac have an
800 number?
I also have a TeXtures problem. At least I think it may relate to TeXtures.
When I print on a LaserWriter IINTX, I find that there exists an unusual class
of character, for example, the right parenthesis {"("}. Sometimes they will
appear on the screen and they will also print. Sometimes they will not appear
on the screen, yet they will print. Most frequently, they will not appear, and
they will not print. This last always seems to be the case when printing on the
DeskWriter. These variations appear from place to place in the thesis, but do
not vary with each printing. I suppose that there are more fonts residing on
the IINTX, and it is a PostScript device, so maybe that figures in, but this
does not explain the absence of these symbols on the screen.
I never seem to have this problem when I do TeX on our VAXen, with this or any
other document.
Is there a solution?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please respond by email. No point
cluttering the net for this. If there are intersting solutions, I will post a
summary.
Thank you.

Mark, Please note that neither SuperSpool or SuperLaserSpool are SuperMac products, as these were sold to Fifth Generation Systems last years. For upgrade info, you can call FGS Sales at 1-800-873-4384. For FGS Tech Support, you can call 1-800-766-7283. Also note that SLS 2.02 is required for use with the HP DeskWriter.
