- i have to use LaserWriter 7.0 with if i want to use TuneUp 1.1.1, as the
- Novell print queues think they're printing while nothing ever comes out
- of the printer. Works fine. Copying it into a System 6.x system folder
- works fine (for what it's worth, LaserWriter 5.2 works fine under system
- 7) - keeping only 1 version of your printer driver on the network is
- essential.
