System 7: Installer on Printing Tools Disk is for System 6

* For technical accuracy.


I removed my printer drivers from the Extensions folder and deleted them.
When I reinstalled the system software, the Printing disk displayed this
message: "The selected disk 'Hard Disk' does not require a printer update."
However, when I chose Customize and "Software for LaserWriter" it installed
the proper driver. Is the Installer confused?


If the PrintMonitor is in the Extensions folder, the Installer on the
Printing disk will indicate that you don't need to update.  The Installer
on the Install 1 disk will allow you to install a specific driver using
Customize.  Remove the PrintMonitor to do an Easy Install.

There's a good reason for this. The Installer on the Printing Tools disk is
for System 6.  The preferred method is to use Customize from the Installer
on the Install 1 disk.
