Q: Can software cause paper jam in LW 360?
I have a LW Select 360 connected to MacPro by Parallel to USB cable OS10.6.7. This works reasonably well but occasionally seems to not connect properly. The main issue though is with the paper feed. I originally assumed a feed roller issue but no matter how much I cleaned the rollers the second or third copy would appear to stop part way through the printer in a similar (but not always the same) position. The job was quite a simple form created as a multipage document in Illustrator and placed InDesignCS3 (Numbering added in ID). Even trying to print a few copies at once caused the 'jam' in case it was to do with print spooling. After trying everything I could I exported the file as a pdf and printed perfectly through Acrobat Pro.
Now, I would have said printing to an old printer may cause problems but wouldn't have expected this sort of issue. It was as though the software was trying to 'force feed' the printer and it choked. Anyone else had a similar issue?
