This is Printer-hangup in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 23-Jun-1989 05:41:17 From: Unknown Subject: Printer hangup Just a quick point you may need to know: the NeXT Laser Printer software doesn't know what to do when the Toner is Low. The symptom is that you print something, and nothing happens. The Printer app says Status is Printing. The only clue you can get is if you use the Test... command in Printer's menu. The Test panel will say Toner Low in its status area. The solution is simple, of course. Since the toner low threshold is *very* high, you don't need a new cartridge yet. Just take it out and rotate it back and forth (rotating about the drum's axis) a few times. This redistributes the toner evenly and you're on your way. For all you LaserWriter fans, this will make the printer work for *much* longer than you expect. Enjoy!
