I recently received THINK's Lightspeed Pascal 2.0 and am having a minor
problem.

While printing a source file to my Imagewriter I, if the listing is over two
pages in length, immediately after the first form feed, and occasionally after 
later form feeds, the system thinks the printer is not responding and puts up 
an Alert telling me to check the printer and click OK when it is ready.  If I 
then click OK, even without touching the printer or cables, the printing 
continues.

This only happens at form feeds (and not ALL form feeds); only in LSP Pascal,
not in any other application except the previous versions of LightSpeed Pascal.

No data is being lost from the printout.  It is just annoying having to sit
through a listing to hit RETURN occasionally.

I am running a Mac Plus with the latest system software (but earlier versions 
did it also, only with LSP).  

Has anyone else seen this problem?  Is my Imagewriter allergic to Pascal?

Thanks,
Dale
