[comp.sys.mac.system] Old laserwriter drivers under Sys. 7.0 -- partial fix

Okay, I managed to print some stuff using LaserWriter 5.2 on my new
system 7-equipped Mac II ci.  I renamed the LaserWriter that came with
the system to "LW 7" and then dropped the old drivers into the system
folder, and created aliases with the same names in the Extensions
subfolder (The last step may not have been necessary).  It now works
with Background Printing Off, an endurable solution until we update
the other users.

(sorry, just a temporary glitch...)

With Background Printing on, I get all the way through page set-up
and print dialog boxes, but then get a message that no printer has
been selected.

Any ideas on how to get around the message complaining that no printer
has been selected?  It doesn't appear to be a LaserWriter [5.2]
message.
