All right folks, ImageWriter is up on the "Eat the path" zone! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Print on it! #MARCHintosh
And we have the first one! Thank you @_the_cloud, your spooler is awesome! ๐Ÿ˜ Whoโ€™s next? #MARCHintosh
Someone printed the cat interview! ๐Ÿ˜ Thank you! unfortunately the paper jammed a bit but most of it printed out well! @_the_cloud is there a way to repeat a print job? Like reloading the spooler file.
@arroz What I normally do is keep the "Enabled" checkbox off and just let the spooler run and accumulate spool files. When I'm ready to print them, I copy them first to a saved folder. Then I can re-run the spooler with "Enabled" turned on. At that point, I can copy spool files back into the spool folder and wait a few seconds for them to be noticed.
@_the_cloud @arroz That is exactly what I've ended up doing as well. I thought I would leave it online but there has been way to many paper and ribbon jams lately. I wonder why so many jobs start by pulling the paper back and then up again! It just causes trouble
@danieltufvesson @_the_cloud Yeah itโ€™s weird. I remember from the times I used this printer it would pull the paper back just slightly. Yesterday I rolled the paper up about an inch after the first failure and it still managed to roll back enough to fall off two of the 3 front rollers. I was able to quickly snap it back, but itโ€™s weird why itโ€™s doing that.
@arroz @danieltufvesson Reading through the IW manual, there is a concept of "reverse line feed" which is the command 1B72. (Forward line feed is the command 1B66.) So if there is some of that going on at the beginning of the print job, it might be possible to remove it.
@_the_cloud @arroz That sounds very plausible. In the job from @smallsco we talked about earlier there were quite a few of those as well as several 0D 0A in the beginning and that job caused a lot of trouble for me that way by moving the paper around quite a bit before anything was actually printed.
@danieltufvesson @_the_cloud @arroz @smallsco MacPalette especially seems to randomly make my printer spin its roller a lot
