I just talked with one of our Macintosh users here who wanted to find a way to make the Black & White selection the default for the Printer Dialog Box (His system level is 6.0.5). If anyone knows of a way to change that default from Color/Gray Scale to Black & White, I'd appreciate an e-mail response. I'll post a follow-up to comp.sys.mac.misc when I've gotten a fix that works. My e-mail address is dale@bcm.tmc.edu. Thanks for your help. Dale Dale A.

This is the procedure as explained to me: 0) MAKE BACKUP OF LASERWRITER DRIVER 1) Open "LaserWriter" driver using a utility capable of editing resources in Hexidecimal 2) Open the PDEF ID=4 resource using the Hex editor (if using resedit) 3) Find the string (using command-f) "377C 0017 0004 7801" (don't type the spaces, they are here for the sake of clarity only.) 4) Change the "0017" to "0018" 5) Save the changes and you are on your way. I was able to edit the hex string using Symantec's SUM Tools. It worked quite well. There are several other options for editing files at that low level. Be sure to work only on a backup copy and test it before deleting the unmodified driver. Dale A.
