HyperCard 2.0: LaserWriter Driver 5.2 Print Problem (11/94)


I have been trying to resolve a HyperCard 2.0 printing problem. My system includes System 6.0.5, Finder 6.1.5, LaserWriter Version 5.2, AppleTalk driver version 53, and no INITs.

I'm unable to print cards from a stack that I have developed. When I try to "Print Card" from the File menu, I get a message "Processing Job" that stays on the screen indefinitely. The printer still thinks it is connected to this job, even after I cancel printing, so I have to restart the printer.

Oddly enough, this stack does print to a QMS PS2200 Laser Printer.

We were able to reproduce the problem with the stack you sent. However, using LaserWriter driver version 6.x the card printed fine. Try upgrading to newer drivers; that may well solve the problem.
