Macintosh A Macintosh B LaserWriter
Running the Router
There should be no problem with Macintosh A printing gray scale to the
LaserWriter: we have successfully tested this with no problems.
Printing from Macintosh B to the LaserWriter with the LaserWriter 6.0 driver is
not recommended, because it uses much more memory than the LaserWriter 5.2
driver.
Printing
--------
(Note that the following considerations refer to printing from the router
machine. These considerations do not refer to a workstation printing, even if
it reaches a printer through a router.)
* Avoid background printing on a router machine. When PrintMonitor opens a
printer driver, it uses up memory; the router desk accessory may then
run out of memory.
* Do not try 32-bit color printing from a router machine.
* Be aware that the 6.0 LaserWriter driver uses much more memory than the
5.2 driver. Avoid using the 6.0 LaserWriter driver on a 1MB router
machine. Also, avoid using the 6.0 LaserWriter driver, when running the
router and the AppleShare File Server concurrently.
