printing problem narrowed down

[John McGibney]

I had major problems printing with Desktop Printing in OS 7.5-7.6. The cure
for me was deleting it and using the Chooser to pick my printer and use the
regular printing option via printmonitor.

Try removing/deactivating desktop printing and set up the laserwriter as
your primary printer and see what happens.
