Whew! There isn't much information there. But for starters, my old
Imagewriter I works just fine with my MacIIsi, running, of course,
System 6.0.7 ( do I have a choice?).

From your posting I can't tell if it worked on your system before
you upgraded to 6.0.7, or if you just acquired the printer.

If you just upgraded the OS, check and make sure you have
a good copy of the Imagewriter Driver.

If you just acquired the printer, or a new machine
aside from "the printer's broke" here are my suggestions:

1. Check your cable. When I upgraded I just added a DIN-8 to DB-9
adapter in front of the existing cable I had used with my Mac512ke.

2. Check the DIP switches in the printer. Mine has:

	SW1	-1	open
		-2	open
		-3	open
		-4	open
		-5	closed
		-6	closed
		-7	open
		-8	open

	SW2	-1	closed
		-2	closed
		-3	open
		-4	open
