Depending on which version of the driver you have, it -should- work if
you place the driver in the System Folder, not in the Extensions folder.

Below is a copy of a message I just finished posting to comp.sys.mac.system.

 
PLP 3.0, should hopefully be shipping next week.  (NOTE: I said -hopefully-)
Since GCC isn't connected up to Internet, we really can't support it.
I unofficially support it and the new driver WILL be posted to info-mac.
I'll also be happy to post it to umich, if someone will be so kind as
to mail me with submission guidelines.
 
As for the $39, we really have to provide that option.  There's customers
out there who are using really old drivers without the compressed fonts, etc.
The $39 includes the three-disk set as well as new manuals/addendums.
 
If there's sufficient interest, I'll also be happy to post the new drivers
for the WriteMove, WriteImpact, and ColorFast, but won't do so unless I
receive sufficient requests, since there's no need to clutter Stanford's
archives.  If you wish to see these posted as well, send me mail.
 
Ken
