QD 09 - Suppressing the LaserWriter 8.3 Manual Feed Alert (1-July-95)
Q What happened to the Preferences that you could set with earlier PrintMonitor
implementations (prior to LaserWriter 8.3)? When I manually feed the
LaserWriter sitting next to me, I know when it's ready to be fed, and I don't
need the 8.3 Finder alert 3 to tell me this. Because of the Finder alert, I
have to navigate back to the Finder, press OK, and then navigate back to my
application.
A There was a concern with suppressing the manual-feed alert in GX 1.0 printing.
This was fixed in GX 1.1, and since the LaserWriter 8 Desktop Printer code is
based on the GX code, we should be able to easily fix this in a future release.
