Re: Piezo Driver freezes

2002-03-30 by antonisphoto

Bernd,

you don't mention how much RAM you have allocated to PS and what size file 
you are printing (dpi, MB, etc).
 Also, what versions of PS, piezo and mac OS you are using. 
There was a bug with PS 5 in which it didn't erase its scratch discs. It's worth 
using a disc utility (or Retrospect) to look for invisible files that shouldn't be 
there in scratch/spool discs before you start a job.
For the record, I haven't run into this at all with any version of photoshop or 
piezo plug-in and either MacOS 8.6 or 9.1. And I do print multiples and hand 
feed the paper (on the 1160).
Could something entirely unrelated cause the freeze? Like file sharing or 
other network "events".....?
