[comp.sys.mac.system] Printing from 7.0b4

ralph@cbnewsj.att.com (Ralph Brandi) (03/22/91)

I'm running 7.0b4 on my Plus at home, and I'm having a problem with
printing to my QMS PS-410.  When I open the Chooser, it doesn't see
the printer.  The connection to the printer is fine, as I have no
problems printing under 6.0.7, and printing from 7.0b4 on my IIci
here at work poses no problem either.  Help?

System 7.0b4 has a problem using LocalTalk on some MacPluses.

We inserted a couple of instructions in a time-critical piece of
LocalTalk code.  It causes some MacPluses to drop LocalTalk packets. (Esp.
Name Binding Protocol packets.)

We found another way to fix the bug that we were trying to solve by adding
the extra code.
