   This is a common, easily understood misconception. LaserWriter driver
version 6.0 does NOT come with any System 6.0.x release I have seen
(I haven't seen 6.0.4 yet). The version of the LaserWriter driver
which comes with that System release is version 5.2. If you are
looking for LaserWriter 6.0 (which supports PostScript color output
devices and grayscale printing to black and white PostScript output
devices, among a number of improvements), obtain the disk called
Apple Color Disk. This disk contains 32-bit Color Quickdraw (NOT
required for color printing) and LaserWriter/LaserPrep 6.0.

Just wanted to clear up any misunderstandings.
