I can't help the feeling that the answer's right in the manual, in large,
clear print which keeps moving around so I can't find it. I think I caught
a quick glimpse of it, once, but it was moving so fast.... ;^)
I have an Epson LQ-510 printer which, in other than draft mode, gets the
printhead warm enough that it has to pause for a bit. That's fine, but if
I'm printing a long document, sooner or later it stays off long enough for
the printer driver to quit, display an error message, and ask if I want to
1), 2), 3), or 4).
There _may_ be some way of telling it to pick up where it left off, but I
haven't found it yet. All I've been able to do is quit or restart.
This is a pain in the aspidistra.
If I'm sitting by watching, I _can_ simply pause the computer when the printer
decides to "cool it", but for a large document, I _don't_ want to have to
sit there riding herd.
So, is there a way to tell the printer driver to wait forever? If it really
locks up, there's always the three-key crash, or the reset button....
