The problem here is that if you install 6.0.4, then just copy over the 
LaserWriter 6.0 drivers from the Color Disk, things don't work correctly. You
need to make sure that you're running the PrintMonitor application that is
on the Color Disk, NOT the one from 6.0.4.

I wish that LaserWriter 6.0 was an "official" release that shipped with 6.0.4
and later. It offers a lot more functionality (particularly for those who use
their Macs for DTP or color PostScript, or even for transferring PS files
between different computer systems)...
