Hello.  This sounds exactly like the problem that we are experiencing
also.  I have no idea what causes this condition in the AppleTalked
Imagewriters.  However it seems unlikely that it is caused by someone
printing with the regular Imagewriter chosen in the chooser.  If a user
tries to do this, they are prompted to select a printer port (either
their printer port or their modem port are the alternatives).  If they
select their printer port, they receive a message:

        ImageWriter cannot be used on
        the Printer port while AppleTalk is
        active.  Do you want to make
        AppleTalk inactive?  Access to
        current network services will
        have to be reestablished.

This problem is baffling me.  If anyone else has experienced this, or
knows what we might do to fix it, please contact me.  Thanks.
