	I have been having problems lately using Background Laser
printing with our Laserwriter Plus, from my MacPlus running Multfinder.
What happens is that PrintMonitor tells me it has a problem, which "Not enough
memory to print this now, you might close a desk accsory..." 
(note the mis-spelling!) 
	Well, I get this even when I have no other application running
besides the finder, leaving me some 600K free. While I was investigating this
I noticed that Printmonitor was filling up its default 78K partition, and
suspecting this was the problem I increased it to 120K. Voila, no problems.
	This problem is intermittant. It doesn't happen for all files,and
I just tried setting the partiton back to 78, and reprinting the TechNote
that I was just having trouble with--while running Versaterm--and it worked.
Nothing like intermittancy to cloud the issue.
	Furthermore, I don't seem to remember having this problem a few weeks
ago....so what could have changed? I'm using Font/DA Juggler, but the problem
persists when I turn it off. I have the Application Menu INIT, and the
AutoBlack Screen Idler installed.
	Anyone else have this problem?
	Also, why does Apple have such an uniformative message for this
error--and why does the message have a spelling error in it :-) !!
