It installs *1* printer driver in the extensions folder named "Color SW 1500" plus upgrades components of your system including a newer version of the Chooser, desktop printing and printer sharing software. Take those disk images out of the Extensions folder, mount them (modern DiskCopy or ShrinkWrap), and run the installer. Then you will see Color SW 1500 in the Chooser. Just select it and choose a port. Ignore Setup (it is only for printer sharing). BTW, your Classic II is good for that driver, but not the Classic. IIRC, StyleWriter and StyleWriter II are compatible with the 68000 compacts, while StyleWriter 1200 and 1500 require 68020+ and color quickdraw. If someone wants to run the 1200 on a 68000, the StyleWriter II driver might work. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
