I have done this COUNTLESS times with other machines & printers -- as any
good Mac Momma would(!) -- but this particular combo is giving me fits!
The
printer is not being seen at all by the computer, using the "Laserwriter
300/LS"
option in the Chooser, w/ Appletalk off as required, on the free printer
port.>


Geez, this does sound really weird. Anyway: I have a Personal Laserwriter
300 hooked up and working just fine with my 7200 (used it this morning)
-- I don't know how similar or different your 7500 and my 7200 are, but I looked in my Chooser. Yes, my Appletalk is also off, but my Chooser lists
BOTH the Personal Laserwriter 300 and 300/LS as possible printer options,
so is it possible that you only THINK you have a 300/LS when you really
have a 300 (that's what I have). And if this is the case, is it possible
this could make a difference and be the source of your problem? That is,
if you have a 300, you selected 300/LS in the Chooser and it's giving you
fits?


Arrgh! I know how you feel. Good luck.

~Yersinia.
Try going to the System Folder>Preferences>Printing Preferences
Take the Printing Preferences folder and put it in the trash and restart your computer.
After restarting, go to the chooser and select it as normal.
I had this same issue last week and this cured it.
Hope it does the same for you.
