    I have a Power Macintosh and I am running Windows 95 on my DOS Compatibility Card. When I try to print from Windows 95 to my LaserWriter printer, I get a PostScript error from Mac OS Print Monitor.

DISCUSSION


    A PostScript error may occur if you print more than one document at a time on the Windows environment. When printing a second job, make sure Windows has already finished sending the first print job.

    Also, some of the settings for the Windows 95 printer driver need to be changed from their defaults. Here are the steps to configure your Windows 95 printer driver properly:

    Step 1
    ------
    Open the printer icon for your printer

    Step 2
    ------
    Choose Properties from the File menu

    Step 3
    ------
    Select the tab labeled Details

    Step 4
    ------
    Click Spool Settings

    Step 5
    ------
    Click "Disable bi-directional support for this printer"

    Step 6
    ------
    Click OK

    Step 7
    ------
    Click Port Settings

    Step 8
    ------
    Make sure the box labeled "Check port state before printing" is unchecked

    Step 9
    ------
    Click OK

    Step 10
    -------
    Select the tab labeled PostScript

    Step 11
    -------
    Click Advanced

    Step 12
    -------
    Make sure the boxes labeled "Send CTRL+D before Job" and "Send CTRL+D after Job" are unchecked

    Step 13
    -------
    Click OK

    Step 14
    -------
    Close the Properties window.
