- I've tried posting to my local help group, but noone seems to know the
- answer so I figured I'd try going global.
- I'm running an SE/30 with a Cabletron Systems SCSI ethernet connector
- and and Imagewriter plugged into the modem port. My network has a Next
- (running NextStep 2.0) and a Next laserwriter. When I was running 7.0.1
- I could print to the laserwriter fine. Then I installed 7.1 and I
- couldn't print to the laserwriter anymore. Someone told me to replace
- the Laserwriter extension with the one shipped with System 7.0.1 (I think
- it's Laserwriter 7.1.1). I tried that and it still didn't work. Then I
- tried reinstalling 7.0.1 on one of my hard drives and printing from that.
- Now I can't print from that either.
-
- Here's what's working:
- - Ethertalk works great 'cause I can mount Appletalk volumes and I can
- ftp and telnet...both to and from my computer.
- - Appletalk works for the same reasons.
- - My Imagewriter works just dandy.
- - I can print the same documents from a Quadra also connected to the
- Laserwriter.
-
- Here are the symptoms:
- - When I choose Print a dialog, 'Looking for Laserwriter...' pops up,
- then one that says 'Status: Setting Up' or something like that. This
- second dialog box stays on forever (just keeps flashing - screen redraw).
- - Sometimes I can cancel by hitting Cmd-(.), but sometimes I have to
- restart.
- - Sometimes (after about ten minutes) a dialog box pops up saying 'There
- was a printing error ..."
- - This problem occurs in any document, Freehand to TeachText.
-
- Does anyone know what the problem might be? Do I need to set anything in
- Page Setup? Any help would be appreciated (I am at the point of shooting
- my computer!).
