- I ordered System 7.1 on October 21 and received it this past Friday (November
- 20). I have two problems and one observation as a result of the conversion to
- 7.1.
- FIRST PROBLEM: My StyleWrite no longer allows background printing. In fact,
- the 7.1 Installer doesn't even load Backgrounder and Print Monitor into the
- System Folder. I added them manually from the distribution disks and it made
- no difference. I even went back to the last printer driver upgrade from Apple,
- installed the drivers and old versions of BG and PM, and still nothing. I'm
- back on 7.1 drivers now and can print, but only in foreground.
- SECOND PROBLEM: I ordered the 7.1 disks from Apple the same day I heard about
- availability. I told the clerk that my SE/30 has only low-density floppy
- drive, so he arranged to send the 800K disks. Apparently, most people needing
- 800K get the high density diskettes first and then order 800K from Apple.
- Unfortunately, the documentation comes with the high density and not the 800K,
- so I had to phone Apple again. They said they would send me the documentation
- promptly. In the meantime, though, I don't know how to contact Apple for help
- with my StyleWriter problem. I'm under the impression I get some free support
- because of purchasing 7.1 but, without the manuals, I don't know what to do
- next.
- THE OBSERVATION: After the installation, all of the fonts were moved to the
- new fonts folder except for the Geneva fonts which were provided with MacInTax.
- I had to move those fonts manually.
-
- Has anyone with a StyleWriter and 7.1 noticed or solved this problem?
