TOPIC


    I have a PC Compatibility Card in my Macintosh. I am trying to print a Postscript file to my LaserWriter Select 310 while in the PC environment. The file is successfully spooled to the desktop printer folder on my Macintosh but then I get an error -7057 or an error -7805. What is wrong?

DISCUSSION


    The -7075 error is "AppleTalk is not active". The error -7085 is "an unknown printer".

    Desktop Printing software uses the LaserWriter 8.4 driver to perform the download of the print job to the printer. The LaserWriter 8.4 driver does not support serial printers. There are two solutions.

    SOLUTION ONE
    ============

    You can disable Desktop Printing by disabling the following files:

    Desktop Printer Extension
    Desktop Printer Spooler
    Desktop PrintMonitor

    The Extensions Manager can be used to disable these files without removing them from your system, thereby allowing you to re-enable Desktop Printing in the future.

    SOLUTION TWO
    ============
    Use Epson emulation when printing from the PC. The PC Compatibility Card User's Manual contains information on how to set PC Compatibility Card printer options.
