So those who haven't ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is a common, easily understood misconception. LaserWriter driver version 6.0 does NOT come with any System 6.0.x release I have seen (I haven't seen 6.0.4 yet). The version of the LaserWriter driver which comes with that System release is version 5.2. If you are looking for LaserWriter 6.0 (which supports PostScript color output devices and grayscale printing to black and white PostScript output devices, among a number of improvements), obtain the disk called Apple Color Disk. This disk contains 32-bit Color Quickdraw (NOT required for color printing) and LaserWriter/LaserPrep 6.0. Just wanted to clear up any misunderstandings. David Gelphman Adobe Systems Incorporated
