Huh?
TOPIC
I have Open Transport version 1.0.8 installed on my Power Macintosh 7200 and when I try to print to my LaserWriter Select 310 printer I get a -97 error (port in use). I restarted, then reset the Parameter RAM (PRAM), and now I get -43 error (file not found). I went into the chooser and AppleTalk was active. I made AppleTalk inactive and restarted. I could print from SimpleText, but not from Quark Xpress. When I tried to print from Quark Xpress I received the -97 error again.
DISCUSSION
Open Transport v1.0.8 activates AppleTalk, which causes the -97 error. This issue is addressed in Open Transport v1.1. The System 7.5 Update 2.0 should solve this problem. There are several applications which O.T. 1.0.8 activates AppleTalk including MegaPhone, PageMaker, and Quark Xpress. However, there may be other applications this also occurs with.
Solution
Use the System 7.5 Update 2.0 software to update your version of Open Transport to v1.1.
