Summary:
Printing to my FujiXerox Document Centre 285 from Classic applications (machine runs OS X 10.2) has stopped working.
More Details:
Printer is networked (multi-format office, PCs and Macs). Prints from Win 98, XP and OS X work fine.
Application in question is Pagemaker 7 (only Classic application we still use).
Machine in question is running 10.2, 600 Mhz PowerPC G3 with 640 MB RAM.
When I send a print job, it spools from Pagemaker 7 apparently without problem. I can open Print Monitor and watch the file sit there, apparently printing, without doing anything. I get a processing light on the printer but nothing eventuates.
Eventually I get a timout (error -8993)
It used to print fine! But I have been away on holidays for two weeks, and now it doesn't print.
Attempted Solutions:
I have traced the forums and found a whole lot of queries about this problem years ago - but none of the past answers seems to work (clearing Chooser memory, rebuilding Classic desktop).
I have reinstalled the printer driver (in both OS X and 9) but this seems not to work. Could be that I am not correctly getting the ppd to work in Classic - this seems to be the point at which it is stalling?
Any help much appreciated!
Regards
Ben.
