Well, I've had my DeskWriter a couple of weeks now, and for the most
part, I really like it.  There are a couple of problems that I'm having,
and I wonder if anyone else out there might be having similar problems.
The first problem (and most annoying) is that MPW 3.0 bombs (ID=12)
immediately _after_ printing.  The whole document does print, though.
The second problem is the Tech Notes stack.  The print button doesn't!
HyperCard does print (at least the Print Card function).
I haven't tried printing to the ImageWriter in either of these cases.
I would really hate to have to hook up the ImageWriter any time I have
a printing problem just to see if it's the printer's fault or the application.
My environment is Mac Plus, 2.5Meg, Warp 9 Photon 20 HD, Jasmine DD100,
DeskWriter (of course), Suitcase II, Pyro.  I am running under MultiFinder.
I know that there are a lot of things I can try in order to track down the
problem - and I will try them.  I'm just hoping that some DeskWriter owners
out there can tell me if they've had these problems - or alternatively, that
they havent' had these problems!

Thanks,
