Maybe I misunderstand the problem here, but I use WriteNow at home, without a
printer, and I've never had any problem.  In fact, I just now shut down,
disconnected my printer here at work, rebooted, and fired up WriteNow.  I went
back and forth choosing Imagewriter and Laserwriter and doing Page Setup, all
without problems.

I *was* able to get WriteNow to not run by (1) choosing Laserwriter, (2)
removing the Laserwriter file from my System folder, and (3) running WriteNow. 
It complained "That operation can't be completed.  Make sure a printer is
installed and chosen."  Is this the symptom you're getting?  If so, make sure
that your System folder has both Imagewriter and Laserwriter files.
