I have been having problems printing to my Personal LaserWriterNT. When I print an item, Print center opens, the network lights are flashing, even the printer starts to blink. I know that it is getting SOME data. But after going through the motions, the printer won't wind up and nothing comes out. When I print from OS9 (on two different computers) it works fine. So I know the printer is okay. This is a problem only in X. I should mention that these machines are on ethernet and I have a Dayna EtherPrint+; ethernet to localtalk bridge. OSX hasn't been having any other problems. It will print to my Lexmark Z22 just fine.

Any ideas.

I have the same problem with my personal laserwriter NT.

I think the problem is that OS X does not support postscript level 1 devices through the print drivers.

If you can somehow convert your file into a postscript level 1 file then you can send it to the printer using at_print and at_cho (I think) but I haven't found any way of doing this. Currently when I want to print I find that I have to save as pdf and use Adobe Acrobat under classic to print out the file.
