Re: Laserwriter 300

[John Wilson]

Hi Roland. Try starting up the Mac with extensions off (start up 
holding the Shift key) and try printing that way. First, go to the 
chooser and rechoose the PLW 300 printer driver. You want be able to do 
background printing and you probably will be running off the original 
processor rather than your upgrade. If it prints, then you probably 
have some sort of extension conflict. If so, it's the usual nightmare 
figuring out which one it is. Good luck, John

Dear PCI PowerMacs:

I have a PowerMac 8500 with 320 MB RAM, G3 350 card, and running OS 
9.2.2.
Attached to this computer is a Laserwriter 300, which has been working 
quite
well until recently.

Basically, when I go to print a document the printer goes through the
motions of printing. The Print Monitor shows that it is spooling the
document. The green indicator light on the printer flashes and a few 
moments
later it should produce a printed copy of the document, but this 
doesn't
happen. Instead, the printer light continues to flash without anything
coming out of the printer.

The first thing I checked was to make certain that Appletalk was set to
inactive. Sure enough, it was. I also checked the cable connecting the
printer and computer and the connection was solid.
Are there any other options I can investigate to try to root out this
mystery?
Roland :)
