TOPIC



    I'm having problems printing from a Macintosh II with a Macintosh Display Card 8*24 GC connected to a LaserWriter SC. When acceleration on the Macintosh Display Card 8*24 GC is on, QuickDraw fill patterns aren't printing properly. I am running System 6.0.5 with LaserWriter SC driver 1.1.

    If I turn off acceleration on the Macintosh Display Card 8*24 GC and restart, everything works fine. But restarting each time I want to print is not a satisfactory solution.

DISCUSSION


    After doing some testing, we discovered that this problem happens with any of Apple's QuickDraw printers. We have told Engineering about the problem and will announce a solution when we have it.

    In the mean time, we suggest that you switch off the Macintosh Display Card 8*24 GC's acceleration before printing. You can do this using the card's Control Panel without rebooting or even quitting from an open application. We realize that this isn't a solution, but it is an adequate temporary workaround.
