3 Drag the LaserWriter 8.x icon to your current System Folder.
(The system knows where to copy it.)
» Note: All Macintosh users on a network must use the same version of
the LaserWriter and Laser Prep files to run correctly. For example, if the
network has a mixture of LaserWriter 6.0 and 7.0, the printer will
experience frequent reinitialization problems. To check the version
number, select the LaserWriter icon and then hold down the Command
key and press the I key. The driver version number appears in the Info
window on the second to last line. LaserWriter 7.xx does not require a
Laser Prep file to work correctly with your printer. The Laser Prep
information is located within the LaserWriter driver itself.
