TOPIC -----------------------------------------
A customer has asked why the Macintosh no longer beeps when the selected
LaserWriter is out of paper as it did with previous versions of printer
drivers and PrintMonitor.
DISCUSSION ------------------------------------
The LaserWriter family of printers, in conjunction with Apple's printer
drivers, still reports to the user when the LaserWriter is out of paper, if it
is printing more than a single page.
The LaserWriter will image one page with a paper-out condition and not
report the error to the user. For example, the LaserWriter is out of paper
and no image is in the LaserWriters memory. A one-page print job is sent
to the LaserWriter. The page is imaged, and no error is sent to the
machine that sent the print job.
If a page has been imaged and another page or more than one page is sent to
a LaserWriter with no paper, the machine that sent the print job will be
notified that a paper-out condition has occurred.
