Sorry, perhaps I should have elaborated a bit more in my original description
of the problem. Among the first things I did was go into Chooser - what I found
was no printers at all to choose from. In fact, I believe the imagewriter
driver is the only one extant on my system (can't verify for sure since I am at
work presently).

Someone e-mailed saying that I probably had appletalk turned on while being
connected serially to an imagewriter. Well, I have never used Appletalk and
have never had that Mac connected to a Laserwriter so I am pretty sure
Appletalk has never enter the picture.

Anyway, on the surface of the problem, it would seem that neither of the above
could be the culprit. However, I guess either (or even both) could have come
into play if something weird happened during/after installation of the SIMMS.

Still, it is a bit disconcerting since my first upgrade (from 1 to 2.5 meg)
went smooth as silk last year.
