Printjobs from PB 145B to Oki LaserPrinter never finish
Posted by: Campus90SE on 2026-08-09 06:36:18
I've installed LaserWriter Software 8.5.1 on my PowerBook 145B running System D1-7.6.1. and managed to print to my OKI C332 Laser Printer.
I'm using the ppd file from the OKI Website (Printer is in local Ethernet, the PowerBook connects via Blue SCSI II Wifi).

The only problem is, that if the printer has finished the job successfully, the PowerBook do not recognize it and still shows the print job forever. I have to abort printing, regardless if the job is spooled to the Desktop Printer oder is printed in the foreground.

How can I get the Mac to recognize finished jobs correctly?
