   Summary: Does Click-OK command-f work even if there is no laserwriter?
	    I think not.  Message is always "laserwriter not found".

You do not need a laser printer to do this. Just select the laserwriter
 icon from the chooser. You will then be told to make sure appletalk is
active, and to pick a laserwriter. Appletalk doesn't have to be connected
but does have to be turned on. And there will not be any laserwriter
icons in the top left window of the chooser, but that is ok too.

You will know that you have the proper printer selected if the print
dialog box (that you get when you print something) is for the laserwriter.
It is different from the imagewriter dialog.
