Hi Net,

We currently have an Apple LaserWriter IINTX on the localtalk side of
the novell fileserver which is setup as a novell print queue so that our
novell WP users can print to it. 

Everything worked fine until we upgraded our Macintoshes to System 7,
which includes a new LaserWriter driver.  When ever the PC users print
to the LaserWriter, it initializes the LaserWrtiter, which then has to
be reinitialized whenever a Mac user prints to the printer.

This is a known problem when Macintoshes running system 6 try to print
to the same LaserWriter as System 7 Macs.  The solution with a Mac is to
install the System 7 LaserWriter driver on all the Macs, including those
running System 6.

So, my question is:  Is there a driver under WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 (PC)
that is compatible with the driver used by the Macintoshes running
System 7?

Thanks in advance...  fred
