Boy, I got quick response to this one! Thanks all!
Earlier today I asked...
Can I use LaserWriter and LaserPrep 5.2 with System 7.0? I'd like to
upgrade, but I share a LaserWriter with several others who are not
likely to upgrade any time soon. (This group of Mac users exists as a
Benevolent Anarchy with no real Sys Admin :-) )
...and the answer is "yes, but Background Printing will not work."
I realize that the BEST thing is to get everyone else to upgrade to
7.0 printing resources. However, I do not have the power to influence
my colleagues (some of whom haven't even HEARD of System 7) to make
such a change. Sure, I could talk them into it, but it would take
hours of my time to do so, user by user...
Judging by my email, many folks out there are in the same boat.
Thanks, mark

(This group of Mac users exists as a > Benevolent Anarchy with no real Sys Admin :-) ) BUT you may be able to talk your co-workers into upgrading to LW 6.1, the version that was distributed with TrueType (and may be found on apple.com, if it hasn't already been moved to ftp.apple.com). I run it on my Mac Plus along with system 6.0.5. There is no LaserWriter Prep file. Is this LW distributed with the personal-7.0 upgrade? It seems to me a lot of people are going to have this same problem... Anyway, LW 6.1 can share LW's with 7.0 machines, and no laser-prep wars. -- =Ned Horvath= ehorvath@attmail.com
