The order of the items in my chooser has caused my iMac to crash for the twentieth or so time - and has begun to really bother me.
If my iMac is hooked up to the Wallstreet portable and I then set one or both to sleep before I disconnect, the chooser seems to lose its memory. I have only two printers hooked up to the iMac (I don't print from the portable), an HP DeskJet 842C (used only for making color versions of contracts) and an HP 1200 laser (used for everything else). The inkjet is turned off 99% of the time - the laser is never turned off. Alas, when I have disconnected the two networked computers, the choosers ALWAYS selects the turned off inkjet the next time I send something to print. Strangely, this turns my inkjet on (seems kind of creepy, like that TV set in the movie "the Fog"). Further, whenever I try to stop something that is being sent to either of my printers that has actually begun being _sent_ to a printer (vs. just being in the line in the spooler), that causes my iMac to freeze (if I remember, I just waste the paper and let it go). Anyway, that's all background to this question: Is there a way to change the layout of the items in my chooser so that the computer will default to the laser and not to the inkjet? Both of the printers are less than a year old, so the drivers are newer than my OS. The iMac is a 333 w/ 512Mb RAM and OS 8.6 (I recently removed the 466Mhz upgrade but this printing issue is an old problem). FWIW, I installed 9.2 and found Sherlock 2 to be far too slow for my needs (I use it 20-30 times each day). Suggestions? -- Matthew D.
