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
