Now I am suffering from the following problem: First the setup: 2 MacIIcx's with E-Machines Big Pictrure mono monitors, 2 megs RAM, System 6.0.4 1 Mac SE, 2.5 megs RAM, System 6.0.4 Apple Laserwriter II My MacIIcx is connected to the Laserwriter, the other MacIIcx and a fileserver using a Kinetics Fastpath 4 ethernet box. The Mac SE is connected only to the fileserver through an internal ethernet card. These are the only machines that ever print on the Laserwriter. Now the problem: From time to time, on all 3 machines, I get a message stating that the Laserwriter was initialized with an incompatible version of Laserprep. I then get the option of re-initializing the printer (very time consuming) or cancelling the print. I have checked the versions of Laserprep and Laserwriter on all 3 machines and they are the same. It is becoming a major nuissance since the Mac SE often cannot handle it and crashes after re-initializing the printer (giving me a System Error = 2). What am I doing wrong?
