»Note: All Macintosh users on a network must use the same version of the LaserWriter and Laser Prep files to run correctly. For example, if the network has a mixture of LaserWriter 6.x, 7.x, and/or 8.x, the printer will experience frequent reinitialization problems. To check the version number, select the LaserWriter icon and then hold down the Command key and press the I key. The driver version number appears in the Info window on the second-to-last line. LaserWriter 7.x and 8.x do not require a Laser Prep file to work correctly with your printer. The Laser Prep information is located within the LaserWriter driver itself.

6When the installation is finished, you are prompted to choose Continue to install additional options from the Cus- tom installation option or to choose Quit to exit the Installer program.

»Note: The Easy Install procedure automatically installs the Version 4.x PPDs but not the Version 3.0 PPDs. If you want to install them, you can do so now as a Custom installation. Return to step 4.

7Back at the hard disk window, open the new PSExec 3.x ƒ folder and then, inside that, the PS Execƒ folder.

8Open PSInstall to personalize your copy of PS Exec.

9Check the README file(s) for updates, and see the PS Exec on-line help for information on using the utility.

LaserWriter 8.x and the 1660 4.1 PPD

The QMS 1660 Print System 4.1 PPD (a printer description file) allows you to take advantage of printer-features like multiple-resolution printing and collation that are not available through LaserWriter 8.x alone.

»Note: Use the 1660 PPD since there is no 1660E PPD. If you have problems printing with LaserWriter 8.x, reinstall the LaserWriter 7.x driver that came with your Macintosh (if available), or call the QMS Customer Response Center (CRC). See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” for a list of telephone numbers.
