The only way, until now, of solving this problem was to reboot the ST (leaving the printer on). When the printer has been turned on *before* the ST is booted, they will talk to each other just fine. As long as you don't turn off (and on again) your printer, you'll be just fine. I, for one, don't like to leave my printer on all the time. I like to be able to ``compute away'' and turn on the printer only when I actually need to print something. So far, with a DeskJet Plus, this has been impossible. My husband (Paul Close) and I wrote the following little desk accessory to ``reset'' the printer port and get the DeskJet and the ST talking again. (That's not exactly what it does, but it's close enough.) Much thanks to Moshe Braner for his desk accessory template. We've included the source code so that you can modify and ``pretty-up'' the DA to your liking. Currently it just blinks the screen when a reset is performed--we didn't add any desktop messages saying ``printer reset'' or anything like that. table !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_ begin 644 djreset.arc M&@A$2E]215-%5"Y!0T, 4@8 ,D2NF*DF^8* ,8#0 %# R< :@8ZP#1Pz M@"( D!2XX*-0EY-<$ = $'+&21 G5O[I0Y)GH %5HD*1,X!%9RY$F FC=^ "@DM;&Ux M:TFC7+]6")O3!D>.12DX.WN&K=NV<-]RA -A)<\!4JX"X!%4(3<8. $XX"8 w M" (9S Q*(EBH%HSC@ [M@;KJP-M9@ ).?6#1P"6&'LR<@E'@%TG5)ZT ")2v MB)M__ABX*0 /-AL-,%[[BX95L#<1K_5)<2420B0INL%X@Q/ ;N@")E+?S(ECu MNE$EUBLXR_7 2K-O!\]D:F@",/1**"H AP3IUUZSXX=_/B0-"E5MIIJ:W6FFZRT6:;!B $-YQ(,N@V36\.>&,<WF74%!(P, +PFP[$=:#'-_+;56+=K-]X5\ #'"&V_i M5+6Z[M5$&P(%&XC4S@/3.AT* --"'4H!TT8=B@/3-4__-.+N[PK%&XJR*h M\$)/,!"+C!-"P C 9P*4F/MGN@< 20$0*?#9[0 , 'P!P-\>0.Z'';#\9Q'Yg M/L#NU/M.0.Z0# 1 ]@78$")!$@_P/,!7!\ B5"]'WV"?A^ (+0MT" ]@AHf M_[V;GZ'?4XGC?P:\] 0Y".^@EP$!"
