LaserWriter 8.x: Freezes Printing To Tektronic Printer

I can print to an Apple LaserWriter from a Power Macintosh 6100 with LaserWriter 8.1.1, but cannot print always successfully print to a Tektronix Phaser 300i using the Tektronix driver. Printing to the Tektronix printer causes the Macintosh to freeze frequently, particularly when using background printing.
Tektronix Tech Support believe this problem is due to a bad Tektronix PPD and may occur when printing from any Macintosh when using earlier versions of the PPD. You need to update to PPD version 4.1 in order to avoid this problem.

For additional information on obtaining new versions of the PPD, contact Techtronics Tech Support.
