- Do not try to install sys 6.0.7 laserwriter drivers on a sys7 machine. Rather,
- install sys7 drivers on the sys6 machines. You probably would want to get the
- version 6.0.8 of MOS (free) to update the print drivers on all the sys 6 macs.
- Sys 6.0.8. is system 6.0.7 with sys7 drivers. The installer will allow you to
- custom install just the updated laser drivers w/o having to totally reinstall
- the sys. (You can also use sys7 installer to do the above proceedure on all the
- sys6 macs). If you try to run sys6 and sys7 laser drivers on the same network,
- the laserwriter will have to reinitialize after each time that there is a
- switch between sys6 and sys7 users, and you don't want that. Best of Luck.
