Power Macintosh 6100 & Personal LaserWriter SC (5/94)

We have a Personal LaserWriter SC connected to a Power Macintosh 6100 and are unable to print in background mode. We have tried printer driver versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. When we send a simple text document to the printer, the page starts to print and then PrintMonitor seems to take control of the computer until a dialog appears stating that a time-out error occurred.

You need to be using the Personal LaserWriter SC driver v7.0.1. It can be found with both System 7.0.1 or System 7.1, and is also posted on multiple on-line services.

These articles can help you locate software updates mentioned here:

Lists online services for "free" Apple software updates
* Obtaining Apple Product Support in the USA
Lists 800 numbers and online services for software updates, Apple
support information, and a subset of the Apple Tech. Info. Library

This is the only SCSI print driver compatible with the Power Macintosh, and should be used for both the Personal LaserWriter SC as well as the LaserWriter IISC. The Power Macintosh Read Me, as well as the manuals will be updated to reflect this.
