System: Background Printing Causes Crash PSS ID Number: Q26243 Article last modified on 02-11-1991 PSS database name: M_SYStem

MACINTOSH

Summary:

Attempting to print in the background may cause a crash under the following conditions:


 * 1) Running on a Macintosh Plus, SE, or II under System version 5.00 in MultiFinder.
 * 2) One or more applications are running and their memory usage has been set so that the largest unused block of memory is zero K.

The problem is that the system needs to grab more memory to print in the background, and all of memory is already being used.

More Information:

This is a MultiFinder problem that will require a solution from Apple in future System software.
