Hi. I've been installing System 7.0 gradually on our MACS that are networked together. The first two installations went well, and I updated all the printer drivers on the 6.0.5 machines to the system 7 driver. On the 3rd and 4th machines, I've run into a small snag. If file sharing is on, and if I submit a file to be printed to the Apple II NTX laser writer, the document or directory prints fine, but at the last second, it crashes the machine. On reboot, the document wants to be printed again, and the same viscious cycle continues. I can get rid of the file by booting with the Disk Utils disk, and throwing the file away. The two MACS that are causing this problems are a IIsi and a IIci. Both have 5 MEGS of real RAM, and I have VM set to 5 additional megs, and 32 bit addressing is on. File Sharing between the machines runs fine, printing is causing problems. Has anyone come accross this before? I'm not sure whats happening, and I am perplexed as to why the first two run fine. Steve
