I use GRAB to cut a piece of graphics output from other application.
When I print it to a LaserWriter, the printer prints out a black box.
When I preview the grabbed output on NeXT/SUN, it looks fine.

I have NeXTstation Turbo Color running NeXTSTEP 3.0. Pre-NS3.0 GRAB
used to work fine.

Any idea? Thank you. -thp

It's NeXT's bug.

I have the same problem on:
Nextstation color, Nextstep 2.1.
Apple laserWriter connected to a Sun4.

  Try using IconBuilder to convert the image to 2-bit grey, then 
print to the LaserWriter.
