hide os9 printer descriptions
Authored by: darrick on Dec 09, '02 09:45:08PM

to rid myself of my error messages, i took the os9 laser jet descriptions from the extension folder and put them in the inactive extension folder and i compressed the printer's classic utility. (if i were braver, i'd toss them). so now the printer cannot try to use them; it's only an osX printer now. i never boot into os9 and when i print from a classic app (wordperfect 3.5e) i always create a pdf first anyway, so then i print the pdf out of osX.

Darrick has the right idea. If I start my e-Mac in OS X - AND as long as I don't start a Classic application, I have no problems printing. As soon as I start a Classic application, zappo - NO print. I get the same error that most of you seem to get. A communication error. Stop the print job and restart is the only way to get a print. The latest update release pushed by Apple for OS X (got it yesterday - "Friday, December 20, 2002 07:03:25 US/Pacific: Installed "Mac OS X Update" (10.2.3)") didn't help either. This problem is not a "stopper" but it sure is frustrating. I am still looking for a solution. I will be checking back to see if any of you come up with one and I, and a friend, will be trying to find one as well.

Good Luck
