I have the Stylewriter II install disks, but you can't use them on system
7.5.x, you have to use the SW1200 driver.
My wife had the same problem with her docked Duo230 and SWII as you're having.
At one time I managed to get it to print again by switching Appletalk off and
back on again (or was it the other way 'round ?).
I'm pretty sure the problem is with the combined modem/printer port.
I 'fixed' the problem by giving my wife a IIci to work on. :-)
