System 7: PrintMonitor Problem when Quitting Foreground App

Why does PrintMonitor sometimes crash when I quit the application that
produced the print job?

This is a known problem in the 7.0 Process Manager, which fails to keep the
driver open when it shuts down the foreground application. You can avoid
this problem by not quitting out of the foreground application (the one
from which you requested the print) while PrintMonitor is in the process of
printing.

But this problem has been solved with the LaserWriter driver version 7.1.1
(or later), found on the System 7 Tune-Up disk. To avoid the problem in the
future, upgrade to this version of the LaserWriter. If you suspect your
copy of PrintMonitor has already been damaged, replace it as well.
