I tried increasing the preferred memory requirements of the desktop printer
and the printer extension, as Tom recommends. The problem, I am sad to say
remains. That is, the my computer freezes when I try to print any document
using Alpha 7.0 (68K version) while running MacOS 8.0.
Any other suggestions?
