Okay, I've tried both of these suggestions, and restarted the machine after all tries, and nothing's worked. I also tried putting the items in both the previous and then the current system folders extension files (haven't consolidated yet) and restarting, to no avail (my computer is using some things from the previous folder and some from the current - messy!). I put them in where all the rest of the printers that show up in the Chooser are hanging out, and they have the same type "chooser extension", yet the Chooser is still not seeing them.
Honestly, having never had to re-install any sort of printer on a Mac since about 1984, I'm still stumped. This is one of those things that makes me realize I've huge gaps in my knowledge, and that I need to learn a bit more patience. I've only been back with this "newer" Mac a bit over a year, but do love it dearly and forever. I'll keep trying to figure this out and go back online and download the drivers again, in case I messed that up somehow... I know it will just take some more figurin' time. Luckily, no papers due yet... ;-) What I am wondering is if Apple expected when someone was either buying a system with 8.x new on it or upgraded, they were also getting a better printer and tossing their trusty old StyleWriters.Whoops! Not me! (Gosh, maybe I'll make a plea to my dad to "borrow" his Epson 1200! ha!) Thanks for the help. I'll keep at it and you all will hear a whoop of delight if I get it figured out. BTW, loved the disco story. LOL!
