Anyone know where I could find an Apple LaserWriter driver? If, so how would I then get into my preferences list? thanks.

Hi Jeff, You don't need a LaserWriter driver… Just print to PostScript. In ProPage click on the "SER:" button to send it to the serial port. You can change the ProPage "Tooltype" so it defaults to the SER: port. Change "PSOUTPUT=PAR" to "PSOUTPUT=SER". / / / //ANDRE

Andre, Thanks, but I actually tried just printing to the postscript and it didn't work. The sleepy sign came on as if it were working then just disappeared, and nothing came out of the printer. Usually, the light blinks on the printer indicating it's getting a signal, but it didn't. That's what made me think I needed a driver. I'll try again, unless you or anyone else has any other suggestions. jeff
