Mac OS 7.6: Printer Control Strip Module Dimmed (1/97)

I performed a "clean" installation of Mac OS 7.6, selecting all options including QuickDraw GX. I created a desktop printer through the Chooser, but my Control Strip Module Printer Selector is dimmed. Why doesn't it show me the printers I have created and chosen?
The control strip is for non-QuickDraw GX printers. If you want to use the Control Strip to select and change printers, you must turn off QuickDraw GX and restart your computer. Once you have restarted, you must select your printer using the Chooser. This creates a new desktop printer, which does not use the QuickDraw GX technology. You can use the Control Strip module to change or select this printer.

Note
The QuickDraw GX desktop printer icon, will have an 'X' over it once you disable QuickDraw GX.
