- I'm surprised no one's posted the correct answer for this one...

- To use the Namer in System 7, simply drag the device files for whatever
- devices you wish to rename (LaserWriter, ImageWriter LQ, etc.) *outside*
- the Extensions folder on your local machine. The Namer can't find them
- unless their sitting loose in the System Folder. Once you've done your
- naming, you may move the device drivers back into the Extensions folder.
- Voila.
