- I am having a terrible time trying to print files on my laserwriter plus.
-
- notes: I created the files using superpaint on my macintosh plus and on
- newer macs on campus. I successfully printed the files on laserwriter plus
- printers on campus. I recently bought a used laserwriter plus. It prints
- text fine, graphics fine, but when text and graphics are mixed (as in my
- files), it does one of the following:
-
- 1) nothing. Printer busy light flashes for a while, computer acts as if it
- is working fine. No errors, nothing. In an effort to see if the
- printer was still working (after the busy light stopped blinking),
- I (1) left it alone for 30 minutes (surely enough time), (2) tried
- printing another document (expecting it so say it was busy with the
- first) instead, the second (text only) document was printed.
-
- 2) Says stack underflow error, and returns control without printing a thing.
-
- 3) says "There as been an error with the postscript enhancement file. Your
- file is okay, but cannot be printed"
-
- I'm using systems 6.whatever (my dealer said having the newest version of 6.x
- would fix my problems. (not!) I think it has something to do with the
- driver software and superpaint not getting along. It is quite a strange
- problem, as I can fill the screen with graphics, and it will print, but
- putting one letter (in text mode) into the file causes usually problem 1,
- but sometimes problem 3.
-
- please offer any suggestions.....
-
- thanks
