Red Ryder 10 has a known printing problem to at least the NT, and maybe
the NTX printer using System 6.0.X. The problem causes some sort of
system error, however this does not occur under System 5.0 using the
Laser 5.2 drivers. Scott from what I understand will be making some
significant changes in the printing facilities in Red Ryder 11. However
how much remains to be seen...

I have heard that if you use a Spooler like SLS it eliminates the problem
since the spooler is handing the printing, not RR...that might be a
a workaround or permanent solution if you find you like SLS...
SLS=SuperLaserSpool....
