TOPIC


    When I try to print, I get Type 15 errors when I have Desktop Printing on. I am using the LaserWriter 8.4.x printer drivers.
    I get error type 15's and/or multiple printer icons when printing with LaserWriter 8.4.x with Desk top Printing turned on.

DISCUSSION


    When you remove or disable the AppleScript and Finder Scripting extension, when Desktop Printing is on, you will either get Type 15 errors, or multiple Desktop Printer icons.

    The AppleScript and Finder Scripting extension are used by the LaserWriter 8.4.x and desktop printing software.

    How to Correct

    Step 1

    Hold down the Shift key after the startup chime to turn off extensions.

    Step 3

    Choose Empty Trash from the Special menu.

    Step 5
    ------
    Reinstall AppleScript and Finder Scripting Extensions.

    Use your original Mac OS disks or CD disc to reinstall these extensions.

    Step 6

    Restart your computer.
