Expert: Sharon Pettis Date: 12/2/2004 Subject: Pagemaker 6.5 not printing
Question I am putting a third edition of my book, "Walking in Tower Grove park" on PM 6.5 using my Power Mac 7200/75. It has only 72 MB of memory, The book has drawing illustrations which usually take up a megabite or more.I have set up 11 pages, two with full page illustration and some with single line, ilustrated page breaks.After printing out one of the pages with a page break (which worked fine) it would not print. I only got blank paper from my LaserJet 6MP. I tried other docs with PM6.5 and they did not print either. Other applications printed. I assume the problem has something to do with the PM6.5 driver.I am preparing the book for electronic publishing (BOD), Any ideas?

Answer In the print dialog box, under the options button, make sure you check the box that says "PostScript Error Handler". Try to print again. If you get a code on the page, let me know what it says.
What do you mean by Page Breaks? Are you importing text from another program like MS Word?
How are you importing the graphics...are you using the Place command? Also let me know what file format the illustrations are in.
