We have a lab with 18 Pluses and SEs connected with LocalTalk to an
AppleTalk ImageWriter and a LaserWriter +.
One SE is an AppleShare Fileserver. Lately we have encountered a message
when attempting to print to the ImageWriter in Best or Faster mode that 
an error has occured and to check the cables. It does not seem yet to be
reproducible, but I'm posting in the hopes that others have seen it. At one
point today, printing occured if the copy of WriteNow used was launched
from a Workstation diskette, but failed if WriteNow was launched from the
Server. We don't think the version number is important, since we have seen
the problem earlier with WN 1.07, AppleShare 1.1, and System 5.0. Today's
experiment was with WN 2.0, AppleShare 2.0, and System 6.0.2. Draft mode
always works. There are no problems if the Workstation is booted with
AppleShare turned off (although still active for other Workstations).
Any ideas?
