Does anybody now, how I can use another LW driver with A/UX 2.0 than the one delivered with it. (i.e. v. 5.2 or so) It's because we have an AT network and every MacOS Macintosh uses the newer LW driver. This forces to reinitialize the printer over and over again. I tried it by creating a Personal Systemfolder and changing the link to a new LW 6.0 driver from the German SSW 6.05. But it didn't work. I also tried to use another LaserPrep. Does anybody have experienes with that subject? Help!! -- Kurt Rindle

I am using the System 7b2 print drivers to match the other folks in this work area. The trick (with the System 7 stuff anyway) was to bring the LaserWriter, Laser Prep, and the PrintMonitor for that rev. level. I don't think that this is as important for the 5.2 to 6.0 versions. I would do what you did, make a personal System Folder, but then I would remove the LaserWriter driver and copy the new version of LaserWriter into your System Folder. There is a know problem. Make sure that you choose a printer, any printer, from a login that uses the global System Folder before you make a personal System Folder and try to print. Also, make sure that you log out and then back in again to make your personal System Folder the "blessed" System Folder. -ped-
