OK... I must be missing something TOTALLY obvious. I've been
running System 6.0.4 on my IIcx since I got it. Worked great,
including being able to use Command-K from the LaserWriter 6.0
drivers (which I got from Apple's Color Disk 1.0) and create
a PostScript file on my drive, since I don't have a LaserWriter
directly connected. :-(
Well, 6.0.7 came out, and I knew it had lotsa new stuff, especially
the System 7 Sound Manager, so I installed that, along with the
LW 6.0.2 drivers. Everything has been working GREAT (not a single
crash yet! [knocking on wood] :-), until today, when I went to print
my Word 4.0 document to disk... I held Command-K, and it submitted
the job to the LaserWriter I don't own. Soon, the PrintMonitor icon
was blinking on top of my Apple, and when I switched to it under
MultiFinder, I was greeted with the alert that it couldn't print it.
(I wonder why? 8-)
So why can't I use Command-K, or Command-F, or just K, to print Post-
Script to disk? I'm sure it's something silly, but it's defitely
alluding me.

A Mr. Eddy J. Gurney has problems getting his Mac to send postscript dumps to the disk. A clue is offered when he notes that the PrintMonitor icon clamors for attention. Yo, Eddy, ya can't dump to disk with print monitor active. Print monitor intercepts the print job before your <cmd>-K or <cmd>-F gets interperted. Turn off Print Monitor (Background printing off under Chooser, or restart w/o Multifinder) and all should be roses.
