	I'm having a problem printing Illustrator files to my QMS PS-410
Printer. I'm using Illustrator 3.0, and Mac OS 6.0.7.  I've tried both 
Laserprep 5.2 and 6.1 (with the corresponding LaserWriter files) and I get
the same problem.  When I print graphics only it works, when I print text
only or mixed text and graphics I get a blinking error light and optional
tray light on the printer (I do not have the optional paper tray installed.
All my other programs work OK.  I have tried printing Illustrator 88 files
from Illustrator 3.0 with the same results.  I even saved an Illustrator 
file and put it into DesignStudio and it still did the same thing, error
and optional tray kept blinking.  DesignStudio prints other stuff OK 
though.

	I am using a Mac IIcx with Multifinder and 5 meg RAM. I tried 
both regular printing and background printing using Printmonitor but no
luck.  I have a bunch of INITs but before disabling them all, I thought
I'd ask the wisepeople on the net for any similar experiences.

	I am using ATM 2.0 that came with Illustrator, and I am using
Suitcase II.  I tried with Suitcase opening the fonts and with the fonts
installed in the system, but no luck.

Thanks,
Mario
