I manage a network that has both Ethernet and Appletalk access between the Macintoshes (mostly SE/30's with a few MAC II's). We have two Laserwriter IINT's (one has been upgraded to the IINTX). Problem: When I try to print FROM ANY MAC ON EITHER NETWORK from superpaint 2.0 the Printmonitor thinks for a bit, and then says that it has come up with a overflow of some sort, encountered a bad command and sometimes even tells me that a Postscript error has occurred. Has anyone ever had this happen before? If so, is there a fix? Thanx in advance for all of your help, I appreciate it muchly!

If so, is there a fix? Yes, we see this with unsettling regularity. Usually the problem is prefaces with "the file printed OK yesterday, then today I added few things and now it won't print." So far I've assumed that SuperPaint is somewhat brain-damaged when it comes to printing complicated graphics to a PostScript (tm) printer. > ...is there a fix? If you are *desparate* you can save the file from SuperPaint as a MacPaint file and then use MacPaint to print that (not pretty, but it works, sortof.) I don't thing that this is an AppleTalk or a PostScript problem, but I am willing to entertain any ideas that others might have.
