You are looking at the wrong problem. The printer will show up in the chooser even without ANY printer drescriptions in the System folder. The printer descriptions are for printer specific options, but you should be able to print to any Postscript laser printer without them. Where you need to focus you attention is on the network settings and physical connection to the printer. Do you have the LaserWriter 8 option in the Chooser? This is the Generic term for all networked Postscript laser printers. Once you click on that, you should see all network attached printers, including the LaserWriter II How is the printer attached to the Mac?
