It's a memory problem. The 4/600 only has 2MB of RAM. Not enough to do much. I ran across a similar problem at work and I bought the memory upgrade bumping it up to a whopping 6MB and that seemed to fix the problem. It's a shame you can't go any more than 6MB on this printer. I also upped my own LaserWriter 320 from it's stock 2MB to 8MB and solved the same problem. That memory upgrade was really hard to find whereas the 4/600 was pretty readily available. Note to anyone thinking about doing this, the memory upgrade for the 320 won't work in the 4/600 and neither will the memory upgrade for the 4/600 work in the 320.
