Summary:

When you use Microsoft PowerPoint with LaserWriter driver version 5.2, 6.0, or 6.0.1, the gray scale options in the Print dialog box are not available on the Macintosh Plus and SE as they are on a Macintosh II and SE/30.

This is because PowerPoint requires Color QuickDraw to do its version of gray scale. The Macintosh Plus and SE do not have Color QuickDraw in ROM (Read Only Memory) as do the SE/30 and Macintosh II.

On Color QuickDraw Macintoshes, PowerPoint adds some options in the lower-right corner of the Print dialog box to facilitate gray scale printing. Under Slide Colors, you will see buttons for the Normal, Gray Scale, and Inverse Gray Scale options.

To do gray scale printing on a Macintosh Plus or SE, use the Color/Grayscale option provided in LaserWriter driver versions 6.0 and 6.0.1.
