TOPIC

    Since updating to Mac OS 8.5, printing to an ImageWriter using the ImageWriter v7.0.1 driver that comes with Mac OS 8.5 does not always work.

    You can print in "Draft" Quality, or from the Finder or SimpleText. However, when printing from AppleWorks, ClarisWorks, and some other applications, in "Faster" or "Best" Quality, the printer ejects the paper without printing or sometimes the computer stops responding and displays a Type 2 error.

DISCUSSION

    This behavior was eliminated in Mac OS 8.6.

    Temporary workarounds may include printing in "Draft" Quality, or possibly copying your information to another application such as SimpleText and then printing from that application. However, the preferred workaround at this time is to update your Mac OS system software.
