The problem I consistently ran across with THINK C and MacSprint II was
when compiling a project with a handful or more files; it consistently
would cause MacsBug to appear after  successfully compiling the first two
files or so [don't recall the specific error].

With the ImageWriter LQ 2.0, entire lines and even larger blocks
of text (not sure about graphics, but would assume) would not get printed
[just blank space appears where text should be]; random in nature, but is
likely related to some conflict between the caching done by MS II and that
done by the LQ driver.
