In the 5.14.91 Volume 5 No. 19 MacWeek page 8 of the System 7 suppliment it
talks about problems with mixed 6 & 7 environments. The main problem it points
out is that if you run in a mixed System 6/7 environment and are using the v7
LaserWriter driver that you must initialize the laserwriters from a Mac running
system 7 or you will have LaserWriter crashing problems!

Typically what happens is that the LaserWriter will go off into never-never
land while trying to print.

We have confirmed that this is a problem and a REAL HASTLE to us because only a
few people are switched over to system 7 so far. This seems like a bug to me in
the new driver. Can anyone at APPLE comment on this and if a fix is at hand.
