I'm having problems again with my Mac Plus and Imagewriter (I).
I print documents in Draft mode using the latest IW driver, and the
printer gets behind on page skips and the driver says "I'm
sorry the printer is not responding".
I have the official Apple circular-to-DE9, and official DE9-to
-DB25. In between is an extension cord I believe passes all 9 pins.
Handshaking is set for DTR on the printer.
Does anyone got any ideas? Has anyone seen this? Am I losing a signal
somewhere? How is it supposed to work?
Incidentally, I've owned this printer for 3 years now, have printed
25,000-50,000 pages (I lost track) in draft and Standard, and haven't
had a problem yet. That's a good printer.
(I take it back. A case tab cracked when I dropped it 2 years ago, in
a real-life forerunner of the 'Bringing their Macs to work' ads.)
