I have heard that Imagewriter I should work with System 6.0.7
but have not been able to get it to work on my system.
After selecting it with the CHOOSER and "printing" a file from Word
nothing happenss.

Thank you for your help.

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
