TOPIC
Various printing related difficulties occur when printing from LaserWriter 8 version 8.6 after installing Adobe's PostScript printer driver, AdobePS version 8.5.1.
DISCUSSION The AdobePS installer places a PrintingLib extension in the Extensions folder that is not compatible with Apple's LaserWriter 8 software, version 8.6. Therefore, Apple recommends you do not install and use Adobe's older PrintingLib with LaserWriter 8. Note: Hewlett Packard (HP) and other printer and application developers may ship AdobePS version 8.5.1 or a renamed version of the 8.5.1 printing software with their products; therefore, should you encounter printing difficulties with LaserWriter 8 after installing third party printing software, please examine whether an incompatible version of the PrintingLib was installed. Apple's PrintingLib version 8.6 may be reinstalled from the Mac OS Install program on the Mac OS 8.5 CD. Note: LaserWriter 8 is a custom installation option, enabling you to reinstall just that printing software. |
