If you are not sure of the version of a printer driver, highlight it and select Get Info

2. Determine if LaserWriter 8 is in your Extensions folder.
If you do not have a copy of LaserWriter 8 in the Extensions folder, install one using
the installer on your printing software disk or your System disks.
3. Disable QuickDraw GX.
Use the Extensions Manager control panel to disable both QuickDraw GX and
QuickDraw GX Helper.
4. Restart your Macintosh.
5. Open the Chooser.
6. Configure printer(s).
Use the Setup function to select a PPD for each GCC printer that you intend to use
with QuickDraw GX desktop printing turned off.
7. Re-enable QuickDraw GX.
Use the Extensions Manager control panel to Re-enable both QuickDraw GX and
QuickDraw GX Helper.
8. Restart your Macintosh.
9. Create desktop printer(s).
Now, when you choose Turn Desktop printing Off, LaserWriter 8 will be substituted
instead of LaserWriter 7.2.
Important note on fonts: Because QuickDraw GX modifies your fonts when it is installed,
documents printed with desktop printing turned off might not print correctly. If your
document uses non-resident Type 1 fonts, they will print as bitmaps. To fix this problem,
open the folder named •Archived Type 1 Fonts• in your System Folder. (This folder is
created during the QuickDraw GX installation.) Copy the any Type 1 font files (you don’t
need to copy the font suitcases) that you need into the Fonts folder.
