I've recently gotten Pagestream 1.8 and a  Megafile 30 to put it on.  Before
this we used Pagestream 1.52 on a single floppy 1040.  Our printer is an
Apple LaserWriter plus.

However I have been unable to get anything other than a simple small
document (like "hello world" in the middle of the page) to print.  The
manual additions enclosed (on disk) do not print.

originally I loaded up everything onto the hard disk.  All programs, all
printer drivers, All fonts - the included fonts plus about 10 others that we
got for use with 1.52 - our dealer said the fonts are compatible.

I called softlogik support, they suggested that maybe memory was cluttered
up too much.  So i emtptied all desk accessories save the control panel.
Also dumped all auto progs save FOLDR100, NITE15 and MOUSEDOUBLER.  I freed
up as much memory as our other 1040 (the one without the megafile 30) has.
I dumped all printer drivers save the PSCRIPT one, I even chopped out all
fonts but the distribution fonts.  Still no dice.

I'd like to hear from anyone else with the same configuration as us -
1040 (1 meg) , Megafile 30, Apple Laserwriter, Pagesrteam 1.8 - have you
gotten yours to work?

please email
