LaserWriter 2.0 ROM: Problems the New ROMs Haven‘t Fixed


Nearly all the problems described in section D.7 of the PostScript Language
Reference Manual (copyright 1985, Adobe Systems, Inc., Addison-Wesley
Publishing Co., ISBN 0-201-10174-2) have been fixed in the new LaserWriter
software. The only unsolved problems are:

-- The readline problem described under 'Input/output problems'

-- The BuildChar problem, described under 'Font and cache problems'

-- The manualfeed problem, described under 'Miscellaneous problems'

The first of these should be considered a property of all PostScript printers
when connected to AppleTalk; the latter two are peculiar to the LaserWriter.
