I was using my LCIII with a StyleWriter II printer, then purchased a second hand StyleWriter 1200 printer, but with no software. From Apple�s Technical Information Library I found that the recommended driver to use was a Colour StyleWriter 1500 driver. The only one I could find on Apple�s ftp site was in the American English section. I have just installed this on my LCIII, still using System 7.1, and find that I can now drag files to the desktop icon which print O.K. (which I did not expect - only wanting to use the SW1200 in place of my SW II). The problem, however, is that the installer has replaced my 7.1 System Software v B-7.1 Finder with a Color SW 1500 v 2.2.1 Finder. This has renamed my Wastebasket as Trash and may have made other Americanised changes. I backed up my System folder before doing this, but, after landing myself with this problem I thought I�d better ask for advice before trying to put matters right. Can anyone please advise: 1. What else will have been Americanised? 2. If I use my StyleWriter II installer will this put matters back as they were (ie overwriting a later Finder version?) 3. If not, which files in my System Folder do I need to replace from my backup to get back to square one or do I need to re-install System 7.1 - I do not wish to upgrade to 7.5? 4. How should I have proceded to enable me to use the SW 1200 Printer with System 7.1? Many thanks, John. -- If replying by email, please remove the Zs.
