SYMPTOMS
========

When you print a document to a Texas Instruments (TI) MicroLaser PS35 or TI
MicroLaser Plus using the PS35 printer driver, the local computer stops
responding (hangs) for approximately 15 seconds when the final pages print.
Control of the machine returns after the print job is completed.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups version
3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND
==========

If you are using a TI MicroLaser Plus and PS35 printer driver, you can work
around this problem by changing the emulation mode to HP LaserJet II, and using
the HP LaserJet II printer driver.
