We have seen some problems when trying to print to an original LaserWriter (ROM revision 23.0) using LaserWriter 8.1.1 (as well as some older driver versions). Our suggestion is to use the LaserWriter 8.2 driver. The new driver is available through online services to which Apple publishes software updates.
You are probably getting PostScript errors because of the limited amount of memory in the original LaserWriters. If the problems still occur after upgrading to LaserWriter 8.2, then we suggest:
* Try using only the fonts available in the LaserWriter's ROM; not TrueType or Type 1.
* Enable "Unlimited Downloadable Fonts" in the options dialog of Page Setup.
