LaserWriter Driver 8.x: LW Icon Isn‘t in Chooser (11/96)

I am installing my LaserWriter printer and the instructions say to select LaserWriter 8 in the chooser. I have installed the software multiple times, but there is still nothing in the chooser that reads LaserWriter 8.



Check the listing of icons in the Chooser for a printer Labeled LaserWriter GX. If you see this printer active, you have QuickDraw GX installed and active. When QuickDraw GX is active, non-GX printer drivers, such as the LaserWriter 8 are hidden, and only the QuickDraw drivers are available. You can select and use the LaserWriter GX icon instead of the LaserWriter 8 driver if you want. For more information about Quickdraw GX consult the documentation that came with your system software, and the manual that came with your printer.
