I have been using to PCMACLAN for over a year now to print to my old postscript2 appletalk printer. Now, all of a sudden, (I changed or installed nothing!) Adobe Illustrator just drops off the screen when it gets to the progress bar. I've checked and reinstalled everything except for the OS and now it's a total crap shoot, sometimes it will print, most of the time it wont. I tested other apps and found that IE5 does it too. Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated since I have some pissed off clients right now. Also, I made the big switch to XP because I heard it has appletalk built in, so why, after I install the protocall, does it do nothing of the sort? I suspect MACLAN is part of my problem and would really rather just use XP's printing capabilities. I just dont understand how Macintosh computers just sorta 'work' yet its Microsoft, where nothing does what it says it does, has all the market share. Sorry to vent, Im just so frickin tired of solving 'nifty little microsoft puzzles' instead of actually getting work done. BEHOLD! As Steve Jobs introduces us the latest in desk-lamp technology!
