You talking to me!
Having very strange experiences printing out pages with tif and similar images from apps that use postscript such as Pagemaker (via classic) and Photoshop
thinks could be an Adobe issue?
A little background info:
We are a publisher of educational text books, we run OS X 10.2 and use Pagemaker via classic (which is more stable than booting into OS 9). We have a network of about 9 Macs of various flavors connected to a HP Laserjet 4000 printer. What is happening is that any pages with photo images, tifs, jpegs (I even tried converting to eps and still no luck) etc will send the printer into a 'lets print out loads of useless pages with stupid little symbols on them (at the top) and randomly at that mode and keep on doing it untill someone cancels the job' job.
This is really frustrating as it prints out eps and any previous pages OK that don't have tif type images on them.
And this only happens in PM and PS, I can print the image from say Freehand or a web browser thats why I think it maybe a postscript type app or even an Adobe app (except InDesign as that prints OK) being postscript founders) and OS X thing.
If we boot back into OS 9 we have no problems.
Could it also be the HP 4000 not doing actual Postscript just emulating it?
Would be grateful if any one can shed some light on this.
Cheers in advance

PS These pages print on mynon-postscript Lexmark Z42 with no problem.
