- Sorry if this is in the manual, but my client lost it.
-
- Trying to get a Personal Laserwriter LS to work with a Plus. I know the
- printer works, tested it on a IIci running 7.0.1. I know the Plus can
- print, tested it with an Imagewriter. But they won't work together. I get
- the message, "No Personal Laserwriter LS is available" immediately after
- issuing a print command. Swapped serial cables and tried both ports (with
- appletalk off).
-
- Currently the Plus has 6.0.8. I've been using version 7.0 of the Personal
- Laserwriter LS driver because it's the only one I've found anywhere. Does
- this work with 6.0.8 or is there a driver I don't know about? Moving to
- system 7 on this machine is out of the question.
-
- If not, is there a problem with this combination? I know the printer pulls
- a very high data tranfer rate over a serial connection. Can a Plus handle
- it?
-
- Thanks in advance,
