Okay, I tried it at work today as well…on a HPIIP with a Pacific Page Postscript cartridge. In that setup, I was using Workbench 2.1 and the Postscript driver bundled with it. When using the "Show Type Preview"-print preview, it said it was printing and stayed that way for a good 20 minutes before I came back and cancelled it. Then I tried Print Preview from the Project menu, and it did create about a 1700K Postscript file…which the printer took, and when it reached the end of the file, just reset and failed to produce any output. I did not try anything in HP mode. ..BTW, that was on a 3000, Workbench 2.1, 5 Megs of RAM. At my home, I have a 2500, Workbench 2.1, 7 Megs of RAM, C='s A2630, Panasonic KXP-1124 using the "PanasonicPlus.020" driver from the public domain (which does an incredible job–even with Pagestream using the Preferences.printer driver). Printing from either the Show Type Preview or from the Project/Print Preview yeilded the same results… A solid black printout. If I turn on "Negative" (only available in Project/Print Preview) then it just advances the paper…no printing. Both routines successfully complete (unlike the situation with Postscript I described above) but yield no output. So far…I'm 0 for 2 in trying to get the Print Preview…thanks for looking into it. BTW, that maintenance update you mentioned…will that be distributed online via a patch file or ??? Thanks for your help
