   I've just bought a DeskJet 500C for my Arc. but it seems
there is a bug in the Acorns version 1 printer driver code
which hangs the machine if it has 8Mb of RAM fitted.  Acorn
fixed the bug in V2.24 of !PrinterLJ but both Ace and Risc
Developments (Beebug) based their 500C drivers on the version
1 Acorn source code.

   Can someone please suggest a bug fix for this?  Is there
any way to patch an SWI to make the machine look as though
there is only it only has 4Mb of RAM?  Does anyone at Acorn
known if I can overload an SWI in the printer RM to fix it
without loosing the Beebug/Ace printer RM code?

   I have Desktop C and know how to use CMHG, I don't have
an assembler (except BASIC).

   Using RiscOS3.1 !Printers would probably solve the problem
but Atomwide could't tell me which links are needed to make
their 8Mb RAM board see the larger RiscOS 3 ROM's on an R140.

   I'm absolutely desperate for a fix to this as my deadlines
for the Silicon Design conference are *VERY* close.  If I can't
get it working in the next few days I'll have to re-enter
everything on Harvard Graphics (YUK!!!!) at work to get some
colour output.

Thanks in advance,
