Currently, QuickDraw GX drivers do not support the fax cards in the LaserWriter Pro 810 and LaserWriter Select 360. There is a workaround to use these fax cards when working in non-GX savvy applications.
1. If you do not have the QuickDraw GX Helper extension, run the GX
installer, select custom install, and install the GX Helper extension.
2. Remove any version 7 LaserWriter driver in your extensions folder.
3. If you have not already set up the LaserWriter 8 driver, disable GX,
restart, and choose the LaserWriter driver to set up a printer description
with a fax card. Re-enable QuickDraw GX and restart your machine.
4. Open an application that does not support QuickDraw GX, in the Apple
Menu select "Turn Desktop Printing Off". With GX Helper installed, the
LaserWriter GX driver selected in the Chooser passes through to the
standard LaserWriter driver and the fax option is available to you.
Note: This workaround does not work with any application that supports QuickDraw GX.
