    When printing to a LaserWriter IINTX from any application on a Macintosh with LaserWriter 7.1.2 or 8.2 drivers, and using the manual sheet feeder, the data appears "garbled" on the printed page. What is the problem?

DISCUSSION


    We were able to verify that the LaserWriter 8.2 driver does in fact have a problem when using the manual tray on a LaserWriter IINTX. We tested previous versions of the LaserWriter driver and they seem to work fine.

    NOTE:
    Manual feed does work with LaserWriter 7.1.2 drivers, but background printing must be turned on.

    Driver Result
    -------- ------
    LW 7.1.2 Works
    LW 8.1.1 Works
    LW 8.2 Fails - We tried 8.2 with the 8.1.1 NTX PPD file just in case
    this might work, however, it did not work with any
    older PPD files.

    For now you will have to use a LaserWriter driver prior to the LaserWriter 8.2 driver. This problem has been reported, however, there is no commitment to a fix date.
