- Subject: StyleWriter Problems
- Organization: BYU
-
- We have two Stylewriters in a student lab and they are having
- problems. They are connected to the printer ports on a couple of macII
- ci's running 6.0.7, True Type init, and Stylewriter driver 7.2.2,
- which are connected to a Novell network where all the apps are kept.
- The system folder is kept on a RAMdisk+ RAM disk after startup. The
- students don't have write rights to the network.
-
- The problem is that the StyleWriters often stop partway down the page
- and then start printing a different page. Or print everything down
- one side in a column, and sometimes some of the fonts don't work.
-
- The Stylewriters are getting used for about 50-200 pages per day,
- depending on how many classes have papers due. (I know this is too
- much but they never asked me to recommend a printer just a machine,
- oh well, at least we got the ci's.)
-
- Are there any ideas as to how to get the StyleWriters to print more
- reliably?
