What version of chooser are you using? I have had no problems with selecting
the LaserWriter, and I don't even own one. I am able to select a non-existant
printer. I don't know about Write Now, but this process works with the following
software packages that I use daily:
FullWrite Profession, MacWrite, MacDraw, MacPaint, Finder, Excel.
I also happen to know that this process works for Word 3.0X, even though
I don't use it anymore.
But if you can't set the LaserWriter, then the Macintosh Bible {a real book
no joke that's it's name} suggest setting "Tall Adjusted" in the page setup
dialog of the ImageWriter.
Hope this helps, but you should be able to select the LaserWriter even
though you don't own one.
