PrintMonitor: "found an internal problem" Error



When I try to print from any of several applications the PrintMonitor
becomes active and returns the following error message

PrintMonitor found an internal problem Where=-6; Why=-37

Without the PrintMonitor running, the system prints fine. LaserWriter and
Laser Prep are installed from 6.0.5 with AppleShare V2.01.

That type of error suggests that PrintMonitor has found an incorrect
filename (or variable name) during execution. There are several things
that could cause it. Here are some things to try:

* Start the system. Throw away the Spool Folder that's in the System
Folder. Restart the system, and rebuild the Desktop (hold down the
Option and Command keys all the way through the startup process, and
OK the dialog box that appears).

* Recopy ONLY the PrintMonitor application from the Printing Tools
diskette.

* After backing up your installed fonts and desk accessories, trash the
System file from the hard drive, and run the Installer to put a new
operating system on the machine. It's important that the System be
trashed. The Installer will not necessarily remove a corrupted resource,
so you may have the same problems after installing.
