- My friend has a wierd problem with his printer hooked to his 2000.
- When he came back from a week's vacation he found that he can't send
- anything to the printer and always gets a "Printer Problem" system
- message - UNLESS he boots a printing program from a floppy, in which
- case the printer works OK. Any attempt to print from a hard drive
- boot, regardless of the printing means, fails. He's re-installed his
- entire WB2.0 Workbench on his drive without results. His PRT: device
- is listed as mounted and the printer is obviously working since
- there's nor problem when booting from a floppy. There are no other
- obvious problems with the system. There was one other anomoly that
- went away: the first time he booted the machine after his vacation he
- got the 2.0 "Insert Disk" screen which indicated that the SCSI
- controller wasn't working for some reason, but after another reboot
- the drive has worked fine. The controller is a GVP Series I with the
- latest ROM update. The printer is a Star 9-pin running the EpsonX
- driver.
-
- If anyone has a clue as to what the problem might be PLEASE send email
- to me at music@moravian.edu (ASAP). Thanks in advance!
