- This is something that one of our sysadm types has been looking at. We've had
- a number of problems relieved by making sure that Macs using the same printer,
- use the same LaserWriter driver. Well, System 6.0.8 comes with the same driver
- as System 7. Unfortunately, System 7 with Tuner 1.1.1 comes with a new
- LaserWriter driver; 7.1.1. The question we now have is whether this driver can
- be used with 6.0.8. The Tuner's installer cannot be used under 6.0.8 and we're
- not sure about just copying the file over. Anyone have an answer to this one?
