[comp.sys.mac.misc] SWM Laserwriter IINT seeks compatible legal size paper printing

bhatlas@pyrite.som.cwru.edu (Sunil Bhatla) (05/01/91)

My printer chokes when I try to print on legal size paper in landscape
mode. This happens when printing from various applications such as
Microsoft Word and Superpaint. Basically, it prints about three
quarters of the page and then just stops. The red paper jam lights
comes on. I then literally have to pull the rest of the page out of
the printer.

Since the problem is not application specific, could it be the
laserwriter driver in system 6.0.5? The problem persists even in the
absence of all inits. (BTW, this is a mac IIx with 5mb RAM)

I know this problem hasn't alway been so, since I *have* printed legal
documents in the past. But, since I only rarely print documents on
legal size paper, I can't tell when the problem began occurring...

Help?

Sunil.
