Users of GCC PLP-2 SCSI printers and System 7.0 will receive a weird error
when attempting to select their printer via the chooser.

The System 7 Compatibility checker does not hiccough on the PLP-2 driver
extension, but neither is this extension placed into the Extensions folder
after the installation of the new operating system.  Placing the driver in
the extensions folder makes it appear in the Chooser.

The message "Window is not active because a dialog window is open" will appear
when the PLP-2 is selected from the chooser.  The printer will not function.

According to a GCC representative (at 1-800-422-7777), GCC is aware of the
problem, and will have a new driver available "after May 28th" for $40.
