LaserWriter Driver 5.0: Print Problems with a Mac 512Ke & Plus


TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

This article describes issues when using LaserWriter Driver and LaserWriter
Pre version 5.0 on a Macintosh 512Ke or a Macintosh Plus.

DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

If you are running LaserWriter Driver (and Prep) 5.0 on Macintosh 512Ke or
Macintosh Plus, you may experience a problem with documents containing
Bit-Mapped Graphics: the LaserWriter prints the document, then the Macintosh
returns to the application, hangs, and must be restarted.

The problem is due to incompatibility between the driver file and the System
and Finder files. The solution is to use a previous version of the LaserWriter
Driver and LaserWriter Prep files, such as version 4.0, or move up to a more
current verion of the LaserWriter drivers, such as 5.2, 6.0, or 7.0 for the
Macintosh Plus.
